Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this anchor pin kit fits my sterndrive?
This kit is specifically made for Mercruiser Alpha One Gen II models. The best way to ensure a fit is to cross-reference the OEM part number (17-8M0065070) with your service manual or existing part. Visually comparing the product photos to your old part is also recommended.
What are the signs of a failing anchor pin?
Common signs include excessive play or looseness in the trim cylinder, unusual clunking or grinding noises during trim operation, or visible corrosion, wear, or bending on the pin itself. A worn pin can compromise steering and trim response.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For individuals with mechanical experience and the right tools, the installation is manageable. However, because it is a critical component of the sterndrive's trim and tilt system, professional installation is highly recommended to ensure safety and correct function.
How does this part differ from the original OEM part?
This is an aftermarket part designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, material, and function. It offers a high-quality, cost-effective alternative to the original Mercury part without compromising on performance or durability.
Does the anchor pin require periodic maintenance?
Yes, it's good practice to inspect the anchor pins during regular sterndrive maintenance. We recommend cleaning the area and applying a high-quality marine grease to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation of the trim system.
