    trim cylinder issue

    I used a dab of grease on the 2nd cyl to hold them, and that worked. But interested if you can dig up your technique!

    trim cylinder issue

    Zoomed in on my pic and I see one line with one and one without. So assuming each line gets one (4 total) and five star sent two extras?

    trim cylinder issue

    I just got my kit from five star. It includes six very small o-rings, and my teardown did not find any of these. Any ideas where these might go? DP-SM. Five star kit fsm0007. Thx

    trim cylinder issue

    Got a proper spanner and got after it. Super easy so far. Waiting on UPS for new parta.

    trim cylinder issue

    Would a pin spanner used to chuck an angle grinder work on the trim cylinder? Seems to be the right size, just not sure how much torque it has to hold to bust the end caps free

    Best source for rebuild kit? DP-SM Also, how do i bleed any air from the system post-rebuild?

    trim cylinder issue

    Thank you very much! I'm quite sure the rebuild will be way cheaper than the local cobalt shop asking for 5k to replace the pump and both cylinders!

    trim cylinder issue

    Apologies for resurrecting this one but having a similar issue with my VP outdrive; holds trim on the trailer just fine, but under load the prop thrust pushes her right back down. Local shop said they couldn't find any leaks, but I can assure you that the outdrive will get pushed down. No oil...

    VP 8.1 GX-i running like crap

    Thanks so far. Will do what i can. How can i confirm spark? Pull plugs one at a time and ground them on block while cranking?
