Picked up a new OMC tilt kit for my 55hp. I have read ATF is OK to use instead of OMC trim fluid. Does it matter what type of ATF? Type F , Dexron 3 / 5 or is power steering fluid better? I don't want the seals to disagree down the road. Who knows for sure?
Re: Power tilt fluid ATF substitute I run Mercs and it says that either tranny fluid or Quicksilver (after market Merc marine products) is fine. Rule of thumb is that if the fluid in the reservoir is red, put in tranny fluid, if clear, QK PTT fluid. One would imagine that a third party makes the pumps for all marine applications so it it works for one, why shouldn't it work
for another. They are doing the same job. Mark

Can you use power steering fluid for boat trim?You will be fine. If there is any change in the speed of the the tabs, that will be short lived until the fluids gets all mixed together. Chances are you won't notice any difference. ATF and power steering are pretty close in viscosity, 30wt motor oil is way more viscous.
What kind of fluid goes in tilt and 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. When that happens, the motor will usually tilt all the way down and will not go up or will stick.
What kind of fluid will work in Yamaha trim tilt?Be sure to use a high-quality marine-formula grease, like Yamalube® Marine Grease, so it won't wash off so fast.
Can you use ATF in boat trim?No problem "at all" Using ATF in your trim pump. Only reason they say that you can use ATF in a pinch is that they cannot sell you trim fluid for 10 times the price!
