My Mercury 50 HP is leaking the tilt and trim oil out of the top of the unit around the shaft at the cylinder cap, I ordered a seal kit from iBoats and was wondering how difficult it is to replace all the O rings (seals) in the cylinder?
Thanks

I have a 1994 60hp Merc that was leaking oil around the shaft of the cylinder. I put some power steering fluid that contains stop-leak in the reservoir and it seems to have helped alot. I think rebuilding the cylinder wouldn't be a bad job, but you may need a spanner wrench to remove the top of the cylinder. Let me know how the repair kit works and how difficult of a job it is........I may be headed down that road in the near future!
Its not that hard,sometimes those caps come off easy and sometimes they dont.
