I was replacing the 10w-30 oil in the trim pump and bleeding the line at the right ram fitting. Upon replacing the line to the ram it stripped out. I've known, for some time, that that female fitting was not so good. It finally stripped out. Does anyone know of a repair to the female threads or do I have to replace the ram? Seems like something could be done to salvage the ram.
It "seems" that there could/should be some sort of self thread cutting insert that might be utilized. I don't know it the bolt, at the bottom, is a secondary place that could be utilized or just a plug. I'll have to investigate it.
