Awesome. Those seats look fantastic.

That leg moves up and down faster than mine. Makes me think there is something wrong with mine now :)

Looking good from down here Az! :D

Question from a lack of knowledge here... will engine oil deteriorate the seals in the hydraulics?

Hey TII, just an inexperienced observation...engine oil can be successfully used in hydraulic systems and vice versa, although it is a personal choice...
The biggest difference between the two are hot and cold weather viscosity performance issues and the fact that engine oil usually has detergents incorporated in their make up to help clean the carbon that occurs from heat and combustion...
I am by no means any type of expert in the oil field nor do I portray one on TV, most of my info comes from hearsay...
I personally tend to stick with what the manufacturer recommends,but have also been known to do whatever is expedient to resolve an issue.
:eek::facepalm::)

OH yeah, Azlo...:redface:
That seat looks Brand new!, great job on that restoration project...I'll be looking forward to future updates as to how well they hold up...
and that outdrive looks and sounds KILLER, Bro! It moves so fast it looks like it waving 'Bye,Bye..."
:D

Yeah I was surprised that you could use engine oil too, but I did some serious reading and yeah boaters are divided in what to use in trim. Just like sodering or crimpimg, out boards or inboards and it goes on & on. Im just glad mine works man.
