Hydraulic leak on trim hose

[Westin501]

Hey all, I just pulled out of the lake to find I’ve sprung a pin hole leak in one of my hydraulic lines for my trim. I have a 2001 Crownline 225br with the 5.7GXI and VP out drive. Can I replace this hose without removing the lower unit? What’s an average shop cost for this repair?

Each shop charges a different rate. You will have to get estimates

Westin,
I posed this same question a couple of months ago. It’s possible, depending. Depending on the amount of corrosion and type of drive. For an SX-M drive, which I have, I was successful in doing this, see post at this link. One key aspect was the specialty socket I was able to get (info in the post on that). Further complicating was I needed to ‘clean up’ the threads in the manifold block which was also a challenge. But was able to do it with a ‘thread chaser’ tool and some ball/socket 3/8” drives.

You did an excellent write up! I have the DP-SM drive but I believe it’s similar to your setup based on your pictures. Still searching to confirm the part number.
