Installation Notes

- Disconnect the battery to prevent accidental operation of the trim system.
- Carefully relieve any residual pressure from the hydraulic system according to your service manual.
- Place absorbent pads or a container beneath the hose fittings to catch any hydraulic fluid.
- One at a time, loosen and remove the old hydraulic hoses. Note the routing of each hose.
- Install the new hoses, ensuring fittings are clean and correctly threaded. Tighten to manufacturer-specified torque; do not overtighten.
- Check the hydraulic fluid reservoir and fill with the manufacturer-recommended power trim/tilt fluid.
- Reconnect the battery.
- Cycle the trim system up and down several times to bleed air from the lines.
- Carefully inspect all hose connections for any signs of leaks.
- Re-check the fluid level and top it off as needed after bleeding is complete.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this hose kit fits my MerCruiser drive?
This kit is designed for MerCruiser Alpha One drives equipped with 15-9/16" trim cylinders and all Bravo series drives (I, II, III, X, XR, XZ). It is crucial to note that it is not compatible with Alpha One Generation 2 models. Always verify your drive model and trim cylinder size before ordering.
Do these hoses come with the necessary fittings?
Yes, the hoses are equipped with OEM-compatible fittings for a direct connection to your existing MerCruiser trim system. No special adapters are required for a standard installation.
What are the signs that my trim hoses need replacement?
Common signs of failing hydraulic hoses include visible fluid leaks around the fittings or along the hose length, cracking or bulging in the hose material, and a spongy or unresponsive trim system. A gradual drop in hydraulic fluid level can also indicate a slow leak.
How often should trim hoses be inspected or replaced?
There is no fixed replacement interval, but regular inspection is key. We recommend inspecting hoses seasonally for any signs of wear, degradation, or leaks. Hoses should be replaced proactively if they appear brittle, cracked, or are leaking, especially in saltwater environments where corrosion is a factor.
