I have a j1171 pump with an aluminum tank. 1986 Alpha 1.
The trim stopped working at the river today. I got home and found oil in the bilge.
When I push the "up" switch the oil runs into the bilge.
I have looked at the manuals, It looks like the hoses go from the pump-thru the transom plate and thread to the outer block?
What do I need to do to replace the broken line?
Can I get the new hose in by just removing the upper drive?
 
Duh! I just looked a little closer at the upper drive removal.
There is no way you get to the trim hoses through there.
I guess I'll just ask.
What is the best way to replace those hoses?
 
a new black or grey hose. at the bottom of the transom where the 4 lines connect, you remove 2 nuts and the block pulls down from the housing to replace the hoses.Search the "Don S" posts.think there is a link.
 
I got the hoses pulled. I pulled a fish through with the last hose I pulled.
I have called 3 dealers, and none of them can find the gasket that goes above the manifold block?
Does anyone know the part number for the gasket?
 
Thanks ,I got the hoses and gaskets.
I put the new hoses in.
I took off a fitting on one of the trim cylinders, to purge air out, and now I can't get it to seal up.
Its the fitting out on the cylinder towards the prop. The threads are fine, the nut for the flare fitting goes the whole way to the bottom, but oil still leaks out.
Any thoughts on this?
