Abstract
A hydraulically operated tilt and trim system for a marine outboard drive including a reservoir for containing make-up fluid for the hydraulic system. The reservoir communicates with the hydraulic system through a conduit in which a pair of oppositely acting check valves are positioned so that gas over the liquid can not enter the fluid system even if the unit is displaced from its normal operation. In addition, the unit is mounted between the mounting brackets of the outboard drive so as to be protected thereby.
