Early model trim ram

[AB Boudreaux]

I am restoring 1977 mercruiser pre alpha trim rams. My question is why is the ground springs needed on the anchor pin of the ram cylinder?

Ayuh,..... Welcome Aboard,.... It's a continuity link to stop dissimilar metals corrosion,....

Yeah, what Bondo said, but I've found major corrosion between the rubber bushings anyway.
