    Tilt Hydraulic Manifold

    I have a 1990 Seaswirl Cuddy with a 5.8L Cobra V-8 Stern-Drive. I was replacing the trim hoses and stripped out one of the threaded ports on the hydraulic trim manifold on the outside of the transom. Anyone know where I can buy a new or used one? I cannot seem to find them. Thank you.
