Hello boating people. Cant find similar problem in old threads. I guess its trim pump fluid leaks from cylinder seal (O-ring, part # 888864). But leaking fluid is red color mixing with white color emulsion. Maybe it is mix with water? Please help with any suggestion - how to stop this leakage (replace O-ring or else)? Thanks for reply.

Re: VP trim cylinder leaks

Yes you can fix the oring leak using a old omc kit. Takes about 30 mins..Google this BRP part # 985060. Hmm iboats mayhave the part. Just do not scratch the inner lining of the trim cylinder. Opps tools need are a simple spanner wrench and a empty pop can

Thanks for an answer, Tail_Gunner. !"ll try to fix it by myself. But boat spare parts is a problem in Ukraine (2-3 weeks by request from US) It"s a nightmare. And what about emulsion - do i need to replace fluid in trim pump?
Cant find any repair manuals for trim cylinder. Hey. folks - any links?

Volvo does not publish a trim cyclinder repair manual i dont believe they support the ideal. There are instructions in that kit, its very simple extremely actually. Just turn off the caps slip on the new o rings and your done.

Ok. Now I am looking for O-ring and suitable wrench to turn off the cap. Thanks.
