Don't Know?

[llmesser]

I have what I (assume) is a late 70's 90 hp merc. I need to know what connects the 4 trim hose's on the outside mount (2) cylinders to the trim motor. Most important where do I get one????

The four hoses coming from the PTT cylinders connect to the PTT motor and resevoir, that is supposed to be mounted in the boat. On the base of the resevoir, is a control valve that has four ports.

What do you have?

Thanks for your help Chris1956. Igot to the bottom of it and was told I had the wrong valve body cause mine had 2. I found one locally that has 4 line holes. Correct me if im wrong but I think its what I need?

Well, I do not know what you found, however, the correct one does have 4 ports. Will it fit your PTT pump?

Yes it fit's. I'm having problems triming down the trim motor runs fine but sometimes doesent go down. Can that be air in the lines?

Those PTT cylinders need to be bled. Bleeding the down side is easy however. Have the motor all the way down. Open the stainless screw next to the zerc, on top of the PTT cylinder. Now run the trim pump (down direction), until all the air bubbles are out. Replace scres and repeat with other side.
