563.0. "Help with Mercruiser power trim leak" by SAHQ::QUALE (DOLPHINS::QUALE) Fri Dec 08 1989 14:32

    
    I have a '73 SeaRay with a 188 merc and have run into a 
    leak in one of my trim lines on the outdrive. The leak is 
    in the small silver-like flexible hose/tube leading to the cylinders.
    Is this an easy fix or am I better off having a pro do it? It appears
    that all I need to do is replace the hose/tube but what about the
    hydraulic pressure and how would I refill?

    If that is all that is leaking is the silver hose simply replace
    it. After doing so raise and lower outdrive a few times, and check
    level of hydraulic oil in your resivour (sp?). If the level has
    dropped top of to proper level. Simple right ???? 8^)

    Thanks. I was able to get hold of a shop manual
    this weekend and saw how easy it is.
