Ok guys heres a question
I have a 73 Jolly roger speedboat with a 233 ford alpha 1 outdrive.
It originally had a 888 in it I swapped the engine left 888 outdrive in.
Before swap the oudrive would go up and down without any problems. Now I have to take off one ram to get it to move up and down doesn't make a difference which one they both work if the others removed but when both rams are hooked up it seems they fight each other. any help at all:eek: I take it to the lake with one ram disconnected and tied up and it works great other than if I let go of the steering wheel it turns hard in the direction of the one I have tied up.

Any chance you switched two hyd lines during the engine swap?
