1975 aristo craft 19

[markrohrer]

Hello all I have a 75 aristo craft 19 with 120 in board, has a stern drive and I'm looking for trim cylinders,new to this boat stuff so didn't no if all cylinders the same or not.

Not all of them do. What drive do you have on it? If you're not sure, pictures will help us figure it out.

Welcome aboard.

its a stern drive I think alpha 1

 

[southkogs]

I don't know the Alphas were out in '75 - but I am not a well versed Mercruiser dude. Got any photos?

Not an A1, your 75 is about 10 years before they came out.

You need to find your serial number on the drive unit and motor. You should post your questions in the mercruiser section. Buying new rams to throw parts at a problem is not a good idea they are spendy as is the trim pump. Repair kits are cheap if the rams are leaking.

thank you , I don't have any rams lol

 

[southkogs]

thank you , I don't have any rams lol

... adding to the suspicion that I have that you may not have a Merc. That's why I keep going back to photos.

What does this mean?

What does this mean?

Considering he didn't try to answer about the serial numbers, I'd say it means he's not going to get a whole lot of help here.

 

[markrohrer]

working on getting numbers,i am at work thank you and the other post was tell I do not have any trim rams to rebuild

Unless I'm mistaken, then it's not a Mercruiser. They've always had rams, correct?

i'm assuming ya don't have an omc drive. which you could have as AristoCraft did have some of their boats w/omc.
if ya got the normal AristoCraft set up. ya should have a mercruiser mc-1 drive.
sounds like ya don't have any trim rams. assuming they are just gone for whatever reason.
here's about the only thing i can find. ebay of course.
maybe that will help. to bad they only have one though. but it would be a starting point.
these look like what i have on my mc-1. but i'd do further research prior to bidding to be sure it's exactly what ya want. go to mercrusierparts.com. they will have oem part numbers for ya.

 

[markrohrer]

thank you it is not an omc it says mercruiser stern drive thank you for the help

 

[markrohrer]

What is the difference between trim cylinders from a 85 bayliner with omc to what I need?? will they work?? just asking I know the lines go in at different spots but is that all

 

[southkogs]

85 OMC would be a Stringer, with hydraulic trim at the front of the engine (if it has a pump / cylinder). Mercruiser has had rams on the drive itself.

 

[markrohrer]

No Title

here are pictures of what I am trying to find trim cylinders for

 

[ziggy]

you got what i got. a mercruiser mc-1 drive.
you also have more troubles than just the trim cyl. assembly. you need the ft pin anchor too. unless ya got it and just don't have it in the pic.
both them parts. item 8 & 9 are nla.
the parts break down for the trim system.
maybe ya can find an old skow on the craigs list with an mc-1 drive on it and use it for parts?????

 

[markrohrer]

I have amc cobra rams will they work???
