Trim seals

[srt4wad]

I don't know if this is the right place to look but we are having a problem with the motor staying trimmed. We can trim it and then it will lower itself down. We were just woundering if there are some seals in the two cylinders we can replace or something like that.

Thanks
Wade

Re: Trim seals


what kind is it do you see oil leaking from the cyclinders? One of mine did this and i tore it apart needed a new oring there were flat spots on it. If your handy with tools it is pretty simple to di you can get o-rings at just about any hardware store take the old one off and match it up with a new one cost like 12 cents for the one i replaced

Re: Trim seals

It would help to know what engine and drive you have.
Could be trim hoses,trim pump,ect. Do you see any leaks in the bilge?Some trim cylinders are not worth rebuilding if the shaft is pitted or corroded.
