Good To Know

Q: Do I need to remove the drive to fit this kit? A: Most trim cylinder pin and bushing work can be done with the drive in place, though access is easier with the boat out of the water. Check your service manual for the exact procedure on your Alpha 1 Gen 2.

Q: Why replace the bushings if the pin still looks fine? A: Worn bushings let the pin move, which causes noise, sloppy trim, and extra load on the cylinder. Replacing the bushing with the pin and cap keeps the pivot tight.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
