Alpha 1 trim tilt

[Searay268]

Hi all, Brand new to this great site.......
I have a 1989 alpha1 gen 1 , the question is on the starboard trim tilt ram i have noticed a very slight seepage/film of oil , fluid which has appeared around the end cap thread, and ram housing where it screws in(not the push rod). I will add just only visible at close up, would be greatful for any advice on what needs to be done next, thanks

Ayuh,... Welcome Aboard,....

You can get a reseal Kit, 'n reseal the rams,...

Not fixin' it will lead to water in the trim oil...
