Post GTR trim starting to leak
. So my 2011 GTR trim is starting to leak when I am using it. After an hr or two of riding there will be a couple of drops of fluid on my transom. I was planing on taking the trim unit to a hydraulic sales and service place close to the house to see about geting it rebuilt. But wanted to ask how do I check or add fluid cause I need to use my boat for the next week or two.

I fill mine at the screw that has the serial # label, until it runs out of the screw on the side.

Somebody told me to expect about 150hrs out of the trim before it starts to leak, and that was true

Yep that's y I say send to Hoyt . Itl be a lil more upfront bt the new style is twice as fast and I find a tad more powerful. Don't hold me to this bt I have heard they may give a discounted price for a trade in trim unit. Call Hoyt see Wat he says.

Got it. Seen where someone mentioned Mercury and didn't know if GT had switched it up.
