Hi, I have almost finished refurbishing a "new to me" 1988 E40hp with power tilt/trim. I'm looking for an upper hydraulic hose, as the one that came with mine has all the threads filed off the outside of the brass nipple that connects the hose to the hydraulic cylinder. These things appear to be available online, but jeez, they're expensive for a simple 9" long hose. I can buy the cylinder head assembly for this same engine for less money! If anyone has something that might work, please send me a PM. It would appear that quite a few model years have this setup.
