i have a leaking TNT cylinder on my 77 merc 500. it is the factory style mercury setup. does anyone have any ideas on whether there is a seal kit or a rebuild kit available for these ?

There are actually two different size shafts but there are kits available from Mercury and aftermarket.

It's simplest to measure the ram.

The 1" kit is 48664A1 and the 3/4" is 92188A2. I think each kit is for 2 cyls.

thanks again laddies. i have the 3/4 rams in mine. i wished i had a better dealer around here to call. the parts man at the local doesnt seem to be to swift when i talk to him. one time i called and told him i needed a switchbox for my ignition system ,and he was trying to give me part numbers and prices on a remote setup. i guess he thought because it had a key in it, that it was the switchbox.

James, if you have a local hydraulic repair shop here's a chart with the o rings by size if it easier.
