alright i guys i got it done FINALLY

heres some info and answers to my questions in case anyone ever has to do this.....

it takes about a minute to get the pumps full of fluid and to drain the air by moving the trim up and down...... until the actuators will start working

also the actuators the neck below where its screwed in the transom thats very skinny which was the spot where it broke they do bend about 60 degrees and its very difficult to move them...

in the future id like to replace the entire system and wanted some input about wake plates or ideas of things others have done.....

i have a 24" plate i believe.....with two actuators running it and was wondering what people think of other brands of plates wakeplates? and electric vs hydraulic?

just some info would be great other then whats on the manufactures website considering they are all talking up there own product....has anyone ever added, replaced or upgraded there wakeplate...
