I don't have my service manual yet, so would like to know how to service the tilt pump on my 2005 BF115. It seems to be 'jerky' the last 10-15 degrees as it's going down. Also, what type of fluid.

Thanks

Use honda fluid with small plastic pump( designed for lower unit oil)
It works good. Fill it up with fluid and trim up and down sevral times
Slowly, and trim all the way to top ,open the plastic screw and let the air out. Fill it up - air out -U may need to do this 2-3 times, and I usally leave it
Overnight to check for leak.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

As a follow-up, the pump only needed to have a little air bled out. Works smooth now.
