Does hydraulic fluid work on tilt trim?
An electric pump runs the hydraulic fluid in the power tilt and trim system, and if you get a leak, the hydraulic fluid will ooze out and allow air to replace it in the system. If you see any fluid on the rams or the motor is stuck in the down position, you can easily add hydraulic fluid to the system.

How do you bleed air tilt and trim?
Bleeding: OB tilt/trim units are “self-bleeding” and you should always perform these “purge cycles” even if you don’t need to add any more fluid. To purge/check, remove the tilt lock (if engaged) and cycle the OB down by “jogging” it down, in 3 second bursts. Then rest the motor about 15 seconds.

That will ensure the fluid will be at an even level when you add fluid to the system. Then you just remove the hydraulic fluid fill screw near the top of the trim reservoir and add fluid until it starts to overflow. Then trim the motor up and down, try to add a little more fluid and trim it up and down again.
