    Re-thread 2000 VP SX-M cylinder for hydraulic hose

    I will have to see this weekend if I can get a good picture of threads and seat. I will also try to get a video but the leak is not coming from the threads but from where the tube goes into the nut. It only leaks when you cycle the up or down and just squirts out until the pressure is relieved...

    Re-thread 2000 VP SX-M cylinder for hydraulic hose

    Well, I tried the above steps and was not successful. I can’t really see inside to see if the housing seat is damaged. I tried removing the cylinder but couldn’t take off the pivot pin at all. The cylinder moves up and down on the pívot pin so it’s not corroded there but I just can’t get it to...

    Re-thread 2000 VP SX-M cylinder for hydraulic hose

    I see the fluid coming out of the space between the little tube and the fitting that goes in. So I am not sure if the issue is the hose or the threads. See picture (I am not that great at making lines in photos :) )

    Re-thread 2000 VP SX-M cylinder for hydraulic hose

    Quick question all. I was reconnecting the the hydraulic (port outer trim line) and it would not screw in all the way and leaked fluid. Cleaned thread with a 7/16-20 thread chaser but still leaks fluid the leak is not from the thread but from the fitting. Do I need to change the line or remove...

    Thread size hydraulic hose VP SX drive

    Oh wow. Thanks for that information. I have the tap but I think it would be safer to use a Chaser. Will need to get one of those. Thanks again for the follow up @ESGWheel.

    Trim tilt down but not up.

    Found the culprit Alldodge. I had to keep up the fight and found that the power cable in the harness for the relay was corroded and not making contact. Removed and changed all connections. Working up and down.

    Trim tilt down but not up.

    I have the trim limiters already in the ram cylinders. I just can’t get the trim motor to turn when I press the Up button

    Trim tilt down but not up.

    I am understanding a bit more now. I just don’t have a trailer button. My boat is a Striper 2600. Can’t thank you enough for the help and explanations.

    Trim tilt down but not up.

    Yep. That’s my next step. I just don’t understand how the trim motor works for down but not for up. Battery marks 12 v.

    Trim tilt down but not up.

    Followed the diagrams (both) and I don’t see where I am missing a connection. Trim motor does have power, when i push the up bottom from the helm, the relay clicks and nothing. Pressing down button, motor works. Just baffled and apologize. Just not too savvy when it comes to this. Also tried...

    Trim tilt down but not up.

    Trying to figure this diagram out but I don’t see any other cables or connections aside from the 3 going to the helm and the other two going to breaker. Where would I find the one that goes to the starter?

    Trim tilt down but not up.

    Need help on this. 2000 VP 5.7 GSi sx-m outdrive. I changed the reservoir tank on the trim/tilt assembly unit. Reassembled everything and now the motor will turn for down but just clicks for up. Hydraulic lines are not attached as I wanted to test motor before full assembly. Any idea on...

    Steering issues

    Hi everyone! Have a 2000 Striper 2600 with a 5.7l VP and outdrive is an SX-M. Took it out the other day and noticed that when turning, the steering wheel would seize up and then let loose. Not sure if this can be due to lack of grease behind the steering wheel or with the pump or what. I am...

    Volvo Penta outdrive won’t rise all the way

    Thanks. Main concern is access to remove the reservoir.

    Volvo Penta outdrive won’t rise all the way

    Update: filled up the reservoir and went out for about 30 minutes. Came back and reservoir was empty and saw the hydraulic fluid in the bilge and under the trim/tilt motor. Not sure if leak is from the reservoir or the line. Has anyone here changed the trim/tilt motor or reservoir? Or knows the...

    Volvo Penta outdrive won’t rise all the way

    Was able to go out to the boat today but unable to do any work in it or check it but looked and saw the reservoir empty of any fluid. Going to fill it and charge batteries and test. Thanks everyone.
