merc trim cylinder part layout info needed

[ron7000]

on the old style trim cylinders where the pivot end connects to the drive, that piece cracked on me.<br />Is that aluminum end replaceable or fixed to the stainless ram part requiring a whole new ram (the thing that moves in & out to raise/lower drive)?<br /><br />what should I expect to pay, what's the best source for getting replacement at fair price?<br />thanks.

NAPA can sell you a new hyd, ram Tube.....Along with a rebuild kit with the seals,.....<br />I'm guessing you'll need Both....

i bought both off ebay last year, they're in excellent condition. I don't think I'll need a full rebuild kit and seals, it's just the bushing end of the ram that cracked so it won't stay on the drive.<br />off to napa to find out.

napa is able to get a lot of merc parts. the only thing worthwhile is the o-ring rebuild kit for $17. They don't have just the ram available, and their somewhat limited to what they can get. Price for a whole new cylinder is $300+.

I may have the piece you need, some were 1 piece and some were threaded on.<br />Ed
