Trim cylinder

[ShihanRocco]

Great forum people! Have an 80's 120 merc with alpha one drive. Starboard trim cylinder is junk (corroded, leaking oil.) Removed it and I need a replacement but can't find a part number on it. Do I need a number or how do I match it up? thanks in advance

Re: Trim cylinder

Do you have the drive serial number and the exact year?

Re: Trim cylinder

They make to many different designs to guess which ones you have. Can you post some pics of the rams, of get the serial number?

Re: Trim cylinder

Is it the cylinder, or seal leaking? There are reseal kits and end caps can be bought too. I don't think it's really worth it if the tube needs to be replaced. I did a reseal awhile back...turned out to be pretty easy.

Re: Trim cylinder

There were 2 different trim cylinders used......<br /><br />1 is Very Round looking, with 2 Equal Hyd. lines.......They're a 1" piston ram.....<br />These are available from NAPA auto parts,....Also seen on ebay All the Time......<br /><br />The other is a somewhat sculptured looking body, with 2 Different Length Hyd. lines,....<br />They're a 1, 1/4" piston ram,+ Much harder to find.......<br /><br />I Believe you Probably have the 1st 1s......
