Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
Doghunter, Options available.... Get on a search web site (www.google.com) and look for Hydraulic Cylinder Repair. or Look in your local area for a heavy equipment repair center/dealer and find out who they use. Cylinder packing and seals are exspensive but worth it in the long run. Considering the size of a tilt cylinder, unless you need the shaft, this is a repair that can be done at home. I suspect that if you try a cylinder repair kit from a non-marine dealer the price will be slightly cheaper.<br /><br />Bob
We're talkin' about the unit that looks like a shock-absorber, right??? If so, that little unit (from what I can tell) isn't servicable, unless you can find something like Bob suggested.<br /><br />-John
