I replaced the o-rings and scrapper on the components of my tilt cylinder.
In order to get the cup out of the tilt cylinder I needed to remove the cylinder from the rest of the power tilt/trim unit, which meant removing the pin that the bottom of the cylinder mounts to; that pin contains hydraulic passages to get the oil from the pump to the tilt and trim cylinders.
I need to replace the half dozen or so o-rings that seal the pin to the cylinders. As far as I can tell, those o-rings are only sold as part of a complete o-ring package for the trim cylinders, which cost about $75 (Mercury part No. 25-48462A 2).
Anyone know where I can but those o-rings separately? Alternatively, can I substiture off-the-shelf o-rings and if so, what material should they be made of? anyone know the size specs?
This is a power tile/trim for a 1987 Classic Fifty, serial No. OB258460.
the complete o-ring kit (of which these o-rings are a part) is Mercury part No. 25-48462A 2
