Not to sound like an English teacher here...8)... but your post is kinda hard to read and understand as is. Add a few periods and / or commas! d Regarding the trim rams - sorry, I can't help much there,

The experts here can't see your boat. Without a model & serial number you won't get much help.

If your drive is 1970 thru 1977 the tilt/trim cylinder repair kits are #45522A3,$142.25 each.I suggest you make sure they are rebuildable first.Can you get them apart?

The flushing plug is most likely #19-48751,$2.00.

As you read more here,you'll get used to what information we need to be more acurate. (and help you better)

no it's a 1969 larson i think what i'll prolly end up doing is finding a pump and new ones. they were fine till one day the trailer didn't flip and it bounced the lower unit off the ground and blew the seals. thank god that was it. but we after that we replaced the cap and made out own seals it will go up but as soon as u hit the gas it goes rite back down.

Re: Lift tubes Help!!!!!!!

I think the old one line tilt cylnders were just that,and would not stay 'up' for trim.
