It's been awhile since I've been on this forum, but the last time everyone was a big help! I'm hoping I can get the same help again :D <br /><br />A couple of years ago I blew out one of my tilt trim lines (original line I believe) I rigged it enough it would lower and raise the motor (had to refill the resevoir quite often) I've been trying to find a good used set to save money but not having any luck. Does anyone know where I can either A) get a good used set, B) buy a new set for a decent price (been quoted $40 per new line around town) or C) have a set they want to sell?<br /><br />Mod/Admins, I apologize if this isn't the right place. Feel free to move if necessary :confused:

$40 per line IS a decent price if a hydraulic shop has to make them up. BOAT stands for Break Out Another Thousand. :D <br /><br />-W

Yep, any hydraulic shop can make those hoses up for you. Easiest would be to remove your old ones and supply them as samples.

Thanks for the replies! I'm starting to think I may just invest in a new set and be done with it. This way I don't have to worry about another old set blowing out on me.
