Re: Force tilt cylinder rebuild?
I've never seen a "kit". The L drive is different than the standard tilt/trim set up. I have a standard 1988 125 hp. What I ended up doing was taking the tilt/trim cylinders apart and taking them to a local shop that repaired hydraulic cylinders for commercial use. I looked them up in the Yello Pages. They measured the old rings and matched them up with replacements. Cost me about $15.00 total.
One word of caution. There is a hydraulic valve mounted on the botom of the tilt/trim motor. There may be a couple of "O" rings in it too that will affect operation. They should be changed, but I would try the easy things first. Do the tilt and trim cylinders and see if that corrects your problem. If it still doesn't work, then you should look at the hydraulic valve.
