Installation Notes
- Ensure the engine and hydraulic system are powered off and depressurized before beginning. Place absorbent pads under the work area to catch any fluid.
- Carefully disconnect the old hydraulic hose, using appropriate wrenches to avoid damaging the fittings. Be prepared for some residual fluid to leak out.
- Compare the new hose with the old one to confirm identical length and fitting types.
- Connect the new hose, ensuring the fittings are securely tightened but not over-torqued.
- After installation, check the hydraulic fluid level and top up if necessary.
- Cycle the power trim system several times to bleed any air from the new hose, then re-check for leaks at all connections.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this hydraulic hose will fit my specific engine year?
This hose is confirmed to fit Volvo Penta DP-C, DP-D, DP-E, DP-G, and DPX sterndrive models. While specific year ranges are broad for these series, the key is matching the part number 873228. Always compare the fittings and length of your old hose to our product images before ordering.
What are the signs of a failing power trim hose?
Common symptoms include visible fluid leaks around the hose or fittings, a spongy or unresponsive trim system, or a trim that drifts down over time. Cracks, bulges, or abrasion on the hose jacket also indicate it's time for replacement.
Is any special tool required for installation?
Standard flare nut or line wrenches are typically required to avoid rounding off the soft metal of the hydraulic fittings. No other highly specialized tools are usually necessary for a hose replacement.
Can I replace just one hose, or should I replace them in pairs?
While you can replace only the failed hose, it is often good practice to replace hoses in pairs (e.g., both top hoses or both bottom hoses), especially if they are of the same age. The other hose may be nearing the end of its service life as well.
What type of hydraulic fluid should I use?
Always refer to your Volvo Penta sterndrive's service manual for the recommended hydraulic fluid type. Using the correct fluid is critical for system performance and longevity.
