Blown Trim Hose, Look.

[Primo321]

69 mercruiser 3.0 140 new alpha outdrive 2011
Blew a trim hose looks old and decrepit. I know it's possible to do anything yourself, but this on looks like it may require some special tools to get into the gimbal housing ... Last time this happened it was 2 weeks in the shop and 300$

Any stickies or threads on this topic? I had no luck searching but i may be using incorrect verbiage.

Anyone with a diagram of how these hoses run ?

THanks

Re: Blown Trim Hose, Look.

I remember achris (or maybe someone else) posting up a pic of how the hydraulic fittings are arranged in those old drives, or should I say gimble housing. That's not going to be a fun repair as it looked like the; drive, bell housing and bellows needed to come off to gain good access to the fittings...

I would replace all the trim ram hoses at the same time, so you don't have to dive into that repair again any time soon.
