Thanks Roger, that is just the info I needed. How long did it take to replace the seals on your trim/tilt? I think I'm going to just fill the Res first and see if it works, while I'm waiting on the kit to arrive.

Unless there is another screw on opposite, I would say the appearance of this screw type is the right service port. With lock engaged still in up position, try retracting ram to see if pump assy will pivot providing a better access to the screw by hand moving pump assy. Once loosened reposition pump assy back to its normal position to extend the ram fully before removal of screw.

So you think if I raise the motor as high as it will go, it will give me enough clearance to take the screw out? If not, I guess I will need to remove the top pin. It looks like if I do that, I would be able to move the ram back enough to get the screw out. I was able to get the screw loose today but there was not enough clearance to take it out.

Without straining noise? The measurement on either of my tools is over 1". Were you able to call Marine Tech about the right tool?Yes, it works much better after adding fluid, seemed to be normal. No, I haven't called Marine Tech, been busy working on other pressing projects. I'm not sure if this is exact, think I need a 100 scale ruler so the measurement between holes could be off a little. The approx measurement on my end cap is 2.5 inches.
I did a compatibility check; it appears that the tools I have will fit some motors including Evinrude E & Etech series. This link verifies that my wrenches fit MOST Evinrude tilt/trim pumps.

Looks like i'll need to bleed it a few more time to get it working like it's suppose to be, it worked but it was slow.Curt, I was glad to help out. Mine took a little more bleeding air out to get operating the way it should.
$70 for just the seals.
