 ! CAUTION 12. Position trim cylinder rear connecting ends as
shown.
Ensure work area and all components are clean
before reassembling trim cylinders. Power Trim
components can become damaged if dirt gets
into system.
NOTE: Before reassembly, lubricate all internal parts
with Quicksilver Power Trim and Steering Fluid or
SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 motor oil.

! CAUTION
DO NOT clamp center section of trim cylinder
during reassembly. If clamping of cylinder is nec-
essary, clamp cylinder on front mounting flange.

! CAUTION
Use only 2-4-C Marine Lubricant on end cap
threads. Other substances may act as an insula-
tor and cause poor electrical continuity between
cap and cylinder which could cause a corrosion
problem.

Installation
! CAUTION
Use water and soap solution to aid in installing
rubber bushings. The use of petroleum based
product (oil and grease) can deteriorate rubber.
1. Install trim cylinder forward mounting hardware
as shown.

2. Coat anchor pin threads with 2-4-C Marine Lubri-

cant (to prevent threads from galling).
22060
3. Hand thread locknuts onto pin. DO NOT tighten
at this time.

cant (to prevent threads from galling).
6. Hand thread locknuts onto anchor pin.
All 4 anchor pin locknuts must be tightened as
described following or damage to sterndrive unit
may result from drive unit moving too far inward.
7. Tighten 4 anchor pin locknuts until nuts and
washers bottom out against anchor pin shoulder.

8. Reconnect trim hoses after air bleeding power

trim cylinders and hoses following procedures
outlined in Section 5A, 5B, or 5C (See Table of
Contents).
