Leaky trim cylinder

[Fritzd3]

Can anyone direct me in the right direction to fix my leaking trim cylinder?

The simplest repair is an end-cap kit (engine full-up position, safety latch set, simply unscrew yours, lubricate the seal in the new one, and install it).

You can look up and even order these components on our website at: www.mercurypartsonline.net

That sounds simple enough, thanks!

those sometimes are very hard to remove.Make sure you get the exact right size spanner,pin wrench.If you damage those holes,you have another,possibly bigger problem to deal with

If im replacing that whole cap would it matter if the holes get damaged?

Not as long as you can actually get it out "successfully"

If you rag 'em out BEFORE you get 'em out, as the saying goes, you will be so far beyond screwed that it will take sunlight 6 months to get from screwed to where you are. :)

I found a really nice spanner/pin wrench online. Had several different pin sizes and worked perfectly on my rebuild of tilt and the two trim cylinders.
