My manual indicates that prior to 1979 Alpha One trim cylinders were gorunded with a stainless steel spiral spring installed on the anchor pins. It also indicates that the stainless steel hydraulic lines on newer cylinders provides the ground but the spiral springs should still be used. Are these springs part no. 24-46312?
My cylinders were corroded when I bought the boat despite having the stainless steel lines. Should I be installing these springs?
