Installation Notes
- Ensure the sterndrive is securely supported and disconnect the vessel's battery.
- Gain access to the power trim and steering assembly where the tilt mechanism is housed.

- Thoroughly clean the housing and pivot pins, removing any corrosion, salt, or debris.
- Align the new bushings and use a press or a clamp with a properly sized socket to gently press them into place until fully seated.
- Reassemble the components, reconnect the battery, and test the trim system for smooth, unrestricted movement before use.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if my tilt bushings are failing?
Signs of worn-out tilt bushings include excessive play or "slop" in the sterndrive, clunking noises during trim operation, and visible signs of cracking or deterioration on the bushing material itself.
Does this kit include enough bushings for the entire sterndrive?
Yes, this kit contains two bushings, which is the standard quantity required to service one complete Volvo Penta sterndrive unit.
What is the recommended replacement interval?
There is no fixed interval. Bushings should be inspected regularly as part of routine maintenance and replaced whenever signs of wear, play, or damage are observed.
Is a special tool required for installation?
While not always required, using a bushing press or a C-clamp with a large socket can make installation easier and help prevent damage to the new bushing during its press-fit installation.
