I had a problem with the lower unit not trimming down. Turned out the starboard hydraulic cylinder was stuck. I determined this by removing both from the lower unit and operating trim pump. Port moved starboard didn't. I removed the starboard trim cylinder from the boat, drained the oil and disassembled the unit. The end cap was very difficult to get off as it was corroded and stuck. To rebuild the unit I had to purchase the following;<br /><br />1. spanner wrench $48.00<br />2. seal kit $18.60<br />3. cylinder end cap $57.00<br /><br />This was a very simple fix. Total time was ~2hours. Rebuilding the port cylinder should take even less time.<br /><br />DaL
