Does anyone know where the tank is located that you would fill with hydrolic fluid for the bennet tabs on a 265 express. My tabs did not work last time out and I had notices a very slight film in the water the last few times at the dock. I am hoping that all it needs is some fluid and a new gasket.

Any input is greatly appreciated.Lucky13

This is from the 2004 265 manual
"TRIM TAB PUMP LOCATION
The pump is located in the starboard V-berth storage compartment."

Hopes this is the same for your year.

that's where mine is. Its pretty exposed in there, so its probably easy to damage if you jam stuff into that compartment. Could it be a fuse?
