OH NO! Crossthreaded hydrolic line to trim pump

[pwilson]

I changed the pilot valve seals in my 88 Force 125 last night.When I went to reinstall the pump motor one of my hydrolic line would titen almost all the way and then crossthread.I ended up trying to (FORCE) it on , after I got frustrated.Needless to say that didn't work.Now when I try to raise or lower the motor it leaks like a sive. Somebody please help.

Re: OH NO! Crossthreaded hydrolic line to trim pump

you should be able to drill and tap the pump for a pipe tread, then you can by a fitting with a male pipe on one end and the correct fitting for your hose on the other side.Hope you have room for the extra fitting.
