Stingray trim problems
 

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

Search Ebay. The Marinas price is way out of line. You could install it yourself for a LOT less.

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.

Good point. I missed that also.

If that is the case, my advise would be substantially the same. A new
cylinder for an Alpha One is $105.

Of course, I'm making assumptions, because the OP offered little
clarity and detail.


$105 for a trim cylinder assembly for Alpha one Gen 2? Show me.

I admit that when I first read the OP's post I initially thought he
was talking about trim tabs ... like Bennett's. But then I re-read
it and realized he was probably talking about the outdrive trim on his
I/O.

Hey, you're a good shopper. That's less than 1/3 the going price. What's
the catch?

Used one on ebay should take care of you. They are fairly simple to r&r. Couple bolts at the ends. Just put something under the outdrive to support it when you take the hydraulic lines off. Otherwise it will drop.
