Anybody got a port side trim cylinder for my 85 Alpha Gen 2?
-
The alpha one gen two drive was introduced in 1992. Not to say you don't have a gen two on a 1985 boat. A standard alpha one XD ram should be a correct fit. Compare the numbers of the other ram to insure a correct match

Thank you for chiming In as the suppliers have me going in circles. I’m a newbie. Serial number of lower unit 6908575
See picture of ram attached. Appreciate if so em e can confirm 98703A3 is my need. No numbers on it anymore. If you can recommend a vendor, thanks as well.

It looks like a standard XD ram to me, should be a number in the casting. What is wrong with it? I ask because the do make rebuild kits for them. I saw several new and used XD Rams on eBay should you care to look.
-
Nothing in the casting except the word “mercury”.
I’m sure it’s the number in my original post but both dealers I called kept superseding it to a gen 2 number. The threads are pulled out of one of the fitting connections; overtorqued is my guess.
Thank you.

I looked up the p/n you supplied earlier, not an XD ram, but the website, nlamarine.com had some good info related to trim cylinders. Any possibility of finding a machine or hydraulic shop that could repair the threads. Maybe by welding on a new bung? I see now the challenge to match the other side, every site I looked at said just look at the casting numbers.

With some guidance from GC family out there I have found a used one in MN. Should be headed my way Monday.
I was going to seek a repair but it’s the angled fitting that has accept the end of the line with the tight bend.
Thank u for your help.
Now to bleed all the water out of the system 🙄
