Can someone assist? I have a 22' Grady center console. The boat has hydralic
trim tabs. I have sarched everywhere and cannot locate any fill tubes or caps
to allow for topping off the fluids?

Assuming they're Bennett trim tabs, you need to follow the hydraulic lines into
the boat and look for the hydraulic control unit. or you could follow the
wiring harness back from the switch. It's a plastic box, approx 7 x 8 x 5 inch
unit that will have a plastic cover that lifts off the top. Look for a small
black rubber stopper at the base of the control unit which is on the top part
of the reaservoir (about 1/2 way down the side). That's where the hydraulic
fluid goes.

Where in the bilge or inner transom area it's located was up to the installer.
It could be anywhere.

Thank you Barry,

I did know where the res. is, but could not seem to figure out where to fill.
I will try your suggestion and "lift" off the top. Thanks again.

============================

If they are Bennett tabs, there should be a screw near the top of the
unit which holds the plastic top cover on. Remove screw and top
cover, and the resevoir fill opening is underneath.

If they are not Bennett tabs you might look at http://www.arcomarine.com/
They manufacture a few different types of pumps used for trim tabs.
