1350 tilt trim cylinder

[OperativeK]

One of my cylinders retainer on my tilt trim has busted out on the bottom and is leaking oil pretty badly. Where can I get a replacement part for it or just a new unit?<br /><br />I need the retainer(#1):<br /> http://opk.gotdns.org/Full_14088g11.jpg <br /><br />thanks<br />-Mike<br /><br />maybe one of these?<br /> http://www.boatfix.com/catalog/250.pdf

Re: 1350 tilt trim cylinder

OpK, Your trim cylinder has a recessed end on it. The ones in your picture do not, and are for mercruisers. You can likely order a cap from www.dougrussell.com, or find a used trim cylinder at a junkyard. A new unit will cost a lot.<br /><br />If you do buy the replacement end cap, do not pull the piston out of the cylinder. It requires a special tool, like a piston ring compressor to re-install it. Simply pull the inner steel cylinder liner and piston out, unbolt the piston from the rod, replace the end cap and reinstall the piston. Don't forget to use a new Oring on the end cap (inside).
