That's right... It was Don S! Always used the "Ayuh...". Good dude.
Do you happen to know which are the down lines? My guess is that it's the upper one and that the lower on goes into the front of the cylinder... but I want to be sure.
Had that same thought... then one of the smart guys here (in Ketchikan... I think you were here, weren't you Bondo?) said that if it was just one of the cylider seals, the cylinder on the other side would still be able hold the outdrive trimmed up under power.
Does that seem accurate???
Hey Scott,
That sounds like a good plan, but what do you mean by "rod end lines". Is that the upper of the 2 lines going into the cylinder? Or is that both lines on both sides?
Volvo 300 with a DPSM outdrive.
Had a leaky trim cylinder so I bought a new seal kit and I believe I followed this Youtube video () exactly with the same seal kit he uses in the video.
The trim system was working perfectly BEFORE the rebuild, but it was leaking fluid, the fluid in the...
2012 Yamaha 9.9 High thrust trolling kicker motor
She runs just fine for a while... sometimes for a couple of hours... then for no reason she starts to run like the choke is out... won't get any rpm's and runs extremely rough.
The "quick fix" is to pull the choke out for a couple seconds and...

Mine is rack and pinion and I can't imagine 2 fingers...
Also seems like a HUGE P.I.T.A. to try to rethread a steering cable from the helm to the back on my boat (Trophy 2359). It was a miracle we were able to string the new shift and throttle cables and the steering...
That's a great thread there alldodge!
I'm guessing something inside the cylinder, although I'm wondering if the wheel shouldn't turn easily with the steering cable disconnected from the actuator, or the actuator disconnected from the outdrive. I removed both pins separately and tried ti both...
Just installed a nearly new Volvo 300 B (5.7L) with a DP-SM outdrive and I've got no power steering. Actually, it feels like there might be a little power to the steering when the boat is up on step at 3000+ rpm, but at idle, it takes weightlifter arms to crank it.
Prior to installing the...
This might be the dumbest question ever, but I'm about to install this a Volvo 300-B (closed cooling system) in my boat and there's a mystery hose, and I've got 2 mechanics who can't figure out what it is.
It's a small diameter hose that goes from the fuel pump/fuel cooling unit (on the front...
