Mercruiser trim cylinder

[bosshossmc]

I just went to check the ole boat out (1993 VIP Vision) after a long winter nap and found that one of the trim cylinders(starboard) was split down the middle. Must have had water in it some how and froze. My question is what cylinders and years are compadable. I believe it is a alpha gen 2. It is behind a 3.0l. Thanks

Ayuh,... Pretty much from 90 to date Alpha rams should fit...

The big differences are, the placement of the oil lines...
And,..
The older rams are 1" bore,+ the newer are 1, 1/4"...

And how they attach at the ends. Rubber bushings and nuts or plastic bushings and E-clips (Gen 2) 'nutcase
