Installation Notes

  1. Raise the sterndrive to the full “UP” or “TRAILER” position and secure it according to the manufacturer’s safety procedure.
  2. Support the drive as needed and place a suitable container below the trim-ram area to catch any fluid or debris.
  3. Using suitable pliers, remove the retaining E-rings from the trim-ram anchor pins.
  4. Carefully remove the anchor pins and note the original orientation of the bushings and caps.
  5. Remove the worn components and clean the bores and anchor-pin surfaces before assembly.
  6. Install the replacement bushings and caps in the same orientation as the original components.
  7. Align the trim cylinders with the mounting brackets and reinstall the anchor pins.
  8. Seat the replacement E-rings fully in their grooves.
  9. Cycle the trim system carefully and inspect the connections for correct alignment, secure retention, unusual movement, or fluid leakage. Follow the appropriate service information for any hydraulic-fluid check or bleeding procedure.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if my trim-ram bushings are worn?

Possible signs include excessive movement at the trim-ram connection, looseness around the anchor pins, unusual noise during trim operation, or visibly cracked, deformed, or missing bushings. Inspect the complete connection before ordering replacement parts.

What causes these bushings to wear?

Repeated loading, vibration, corrosion, contamination, moisture, and general marine-environment exposure can contribute to wear. Incorrect alignment or worn related hardware may also shorten service life.

Should I replace all of the components together?

Replacing the related bushings, caps, and retaining rings together is recommended when they show wear or damage. Reusing worn hardware can leave looseness in the connection and may reduce the service life of the replacement parts.

Are washers included?

Washer contents can vary by aftermarket package. The listed core kit contains E-rings, bushings, and caps; check the package contents before installation and reuse or replace washers only as appropriate for the specific drive assembly.

Will this fit an Alpha One Gen I or a Bravo drive?

This listing is identified for applicable Alpha One Gen II applications. Do not assume fitment on Alpha One Gen I, Bravo, or other sterndrives. Verify the drive generation and OEM reference numbers before ordering.

Can I buy the bushings or E-rings separately?

This listing is sold as a complete replacement kit. Individual components may be available elsewhere, but mixing parts from different applications can result in incorrect fitment.

Is this an OEM part?

No. This is an aftermarket replacement kit intended to correspond to the listed MerCruiser reference numbers. MerCruiser is a trademark of its respective owner and is not affiliated with this aftermarket product.

What are the shipping and return terms?

Shipping availability, delivery estimates, warranty coverage, and return eligibility are determined by the store’s current policies. Review those policies at checkout or contact support before ordering if you need confirmation.

Safety & Important Information

  • Verify the drive generation, original part numbers, images, and mounting arrangement before purchase.
  • Do not rely on engine horsepower, year, or model name alone to confirm fitment.
  • Use appropriate support and safety procedures when raising or servicing a sterndrive.
  • Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with sterndrive trim systems.
  • This is an aftermarket replacement, not a MerCruiser-branded OEM component.
