Penta Trim Tilt Leaking

Hello all,

I'm new to this Forum and just bought a 1970 24 foot Seabird. Super nice lines on this boat. It needs plenty of work but I'm starting with the Tilt/Trim as its currently not working. I believe the leak is in the cylinder as the port side cylinder has hydraulic fluid on it. There is no data plate on the leg and I have google imaged the gimble leg combo and have not found a similar setup. I'm pretty certain the leg is a 270 but I'm not certain. So I'm looking for a seal and advise on rebuilding them. Thanks in advance for your advise all.

No.... have a plain vanilla 280
BTW... boat came from factory with a 260 drive ... upgraded to the 280 as it has better gears. Drive is a mid 80s vintage bought as salvage from a sunken houseboat. Was in perfect working condition. Eventually replaced seal on shifter rocker and had the thrust washer upgraded to a custom steel one.
