My 2002 stingray 190 trim is stuck in the up position. My dealer said
one of the hydraulic cylinders is locked up and needs replacing. The
quote is $550 for parts and $250 for installation. Does anyone know if
the old cylinder can be rebuilt or repaired? Any lower price sources ?
Thanks

I quick eBay check showed 2 tabs plus cylinders for $75.00. I think
loosening 6 screws and 1 hydraulic fitting is all that is necessary to
replace the part. Maybe a quart of Seastar hydraulic fluid will be
needed. The installation instructions are probably on the Bennett web
site, for free.

$800 to replace a cylinder is felonious highway robbery, or at least
it should be.

Go back to sleep. He wasn't inquiring about trim tabs.
