Merc trim oil??
Forgive me for being a dummy- what type of oil goes in the reservoir for the trim cylinders? Is it "normal" hydraulic oil or does it need to be something special. Thanks!

I just buy the trim oil from Merc. I have been told it's just 30 weight oil. Can't get myself to put regular motor oil in there

Cattitude,
They highly recommend purified water from the White River! LOL
Sorry couldn't resist.
Wish I was more help here. I haven't had to put any trim fluid in the Scarab since I bought it.

There is a tag right on my pumps for my drives, K-planes and hatches, 10w30 or 10w40. All I have used is 10w30. If I used the boat in the southern states I might switch to 10w40.
