Hydraulic Hose Testing

[MercMonster]

I pulled the trim hose connector yesterday evening and proceeded to remove the trim hoses from the: Pump to Hydraulic Connector and Connector to Reverse Lock Valve Hose. When I looked at them both, I could find no obvious blowouts, but one of them surely had one. Every time I would move the tilt, fluid squirted out from back in the wee little hole inside the transom assembly where the hoses connected to the trim hose connector. So, does someone like NAPA test hydraulic hoses or a machine shop, etc.? What's the most logical place to have hydraulic hose testing done?

Re: Hydraulic Hose Testing

With the connector off and the hoses still connected, have someone operate the trim system and see if you can see the leak. The trim hoses will pull down and out of the connector hole a little ways, so maybe you can see the defective hose.
