'01 Launch Hydraulic Wake Plate

[Lyonslaunch]

I just bouaght an '01 direct drive Launch but the hydraulic wake plate is not working. I can hear the motor but there is no movement. My guess is I need to add fluid to the hydraulic motor.

Does anyone know:
1)Where the hydraulic motor is on the direct drive?
2) Where to add fluid
3) What type of fluid to add
4) Best way to access it

Thanks

1 it is in the rear storage compartment.
2 the fluid reservoir is on the pump.
3 not sure
4 remove the rear compartment wall at the tail of the boat.

Mine did that once - it needed fluid but I can't remember what type it was. My dealer sold me the fluid.

Good luck.

You should use any type of automatic transmission fluid (ATF) in the hydraulic pump.
