Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this anchor pin fits my specific Alpha One model?
This kit fits Mercruiser R, MR, and Alpha One models from 1983–1990. The most accurate way to confirm fitment is by checking your unit's serial number. It fits sterndrive serial numbers 6225577–0F386995 and transom assembly serial numbers 6216687–0F386995.
What are the signs that my trim cylinder anchor pin needs replacement?
Common signs of a failing anchor pin include excessive play or movement in the trim cylinders, visible corrosion or wear on the pin, and clunking noises from the transom area when trimming the drive. Water intrusion past the bushings can also cause unseen corrosion.
Is the stainless steel pin more durable than the original?
This pin is made from high-quality stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance in marine environments, which is comparable to or exceeds the specifications of the original OEM part.
Can I replace just the bushings instead of the whole kit?
While bushings can be a failure point, the pin itself is also a wear item that is subject to corrosion and stress. This kit includes all necessary components (pin, bushings, washers, nuts) to ensure a complete and reliable repair, preventing future issues.
OEM vs. Aftermarket?
This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). It is built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. The part is manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility and is batch-inspected for consistency and quality.
