    What is this? - found on SX-A outdrive

    Thank you- bang on and excellent help. Still no hose found however I have a "traditional" drop down speedo "fin" attached to a hose so Im thinking the previous owner bypassed it perhaps (2007 Stingray 185)

    What is this? - found on SX-A outdrive

    Can't seem to find this white plug with L-opening and ribbed joiner(?) on any parts diagram. The center is open as if its supposed to have fluid go down/through it. Looks like it should have a fluid line attached but I can't find one hanging down...? Ins Any thoughts? Thanks!

    Outdrive Paint & Prep

    Question about above for V.P outdriver. Should the JB wield perhaps go on top of a first layer of primer as the primer is corrosion prevention? If so, would it (or marine tek) stick well to a primer? like self etching primer CDN tire or alodine? Also, Zinc chromate primer is no longer available...

    Corrosion paint SX-A outdrive

    Serious problem. Corrosion has compromised the seal of my (in the water behind the transom) SX-A outdrive trim motor. Bought the $2400 replacement trim motor and when replacing, discovered that corrosion compromised the seal (eaten away the metal) so water got in trim motor and killed it! Need...

    test trim cylinders possible?

    May I ask the process of testing the hydraulic cylinder? You are likely right- its probably electrical however if it is seized and I fry another trim motor... well best quote I have so far is close to $2000 CDN for the part! Better safe than sorry

    drain 9.9 fourstroke float bowl?

    Excellent point thank you. 2010 9.9 fourstroke model 1F10201FK The answer my friends is that the float bowl/carb drain screw is the BRASS 8mm screw to the upper left of the hose that goes down out of the carb.

    Replace or repair SX-A trim / tilt motor possible?

    Trim system is outside the transom under the outdrive. Has anyone ever repaired or replaced just the trim motor or do I absolutely have to buy the whole assembly? Mine is reading open circut, a spark when first jumped but now nothing.

    So having jumped directly positive and neg to blue and green wires and getting no sound, this means the motor is shot? Q1)Is it true that for a SX-A trim system, the motor is not available seperatly-without buying the whole pricey assembly? Coule not find a motor for SX-A on Amazon or i-boats...
