had fluid drip coming out of piston/ram so replaced o rings and head trim cylinder. removed fluid and replaced. still getting milky fluid coming out. anybody know how to completely remove all fluid. i have the manual and it only shows how to completely overhaul entire system.
 
Here is what I found online at various sites on that same version of engine...

Make sure your boat is either level or tilted bow down most just lower the trailer jack all the way down.
  1. Use the air hose from a bubble bucket / aquarium air hose to siphon all the old fluid out.
  2. Use something like this to refill it: Measure Master Garden Syringe
  3. Fill it with new ATF fluid and run it up and down 5 times or so... (Personally the more that better so you get a good mix of old and new)
    Then....
  4. Siphoned it all back out again.
  5. Refill with new fluid and cycle again 5 more times, and then top off as needed.

Hope this helps and let us know how you make out ;)
