Installation Guide

  1. Safety First: Disconnect the boat's battery to prevent any electrical accidents.
  2. Access the Connector: Locate the existing manifold connector assembly on the transom. Access may require tilting the stern drive.
  3. Prepare for Fluid: Place a drain pan and absorbent rags under the hydraulic lines to catch any spilling trim fluid.
  4. Disconnect Lines: Carefully loosen and disconnect the hydraulic trim lines from the junction block body.
  5. Remove Old Assembly: Unfasten the two mounting bolts holding the old manifold assembly and remove it, along with the old gaskets.
  6. Clean Surface: Thoroughly clean the mounting surface on the transom, removing any old gasket material or corrosion.
  7. Install New Gaskets: Place the new gaskets onto the new junction block body.
  8. Mount New Assembly: Position the new manifold assembly and secure it using the new mounting bolts and lockwashers. Tighten to manufacturer-specified torque.
  9. Reconnect Lines: Re-attach the hydraulic trim lines to the new junction block. Ensure the fittings are tight to prevent leaks.
  10. Bleed and Refill: Top off the power trim fluid reservoir and bleed the system of any air according to your drive's service manual.
  11. Test Operation: Reconnect the battery. Operate the trim system up and down several times, checking for smooth operation and any signs of leaks.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this manifold connector will fit my specific Mercruiser drive?

A: This kit is designed for Mercruiser R/MR, Alpha One Gen 2, and Bravo I/II/III models made from 1983 and onward. The best way to confirm fitment is to match your existing part's number to one of the cross-reference numbers listed (e.g., 8M0137703, 98825A4). Visual comparison with the product images is also recommended.

Q: What are the common symptoms of a failing manifold connector?

A: Signs of failure often include hydraulic fluid leaks around the transom-mounted connector, a spongy or unresponsive trim system, or the inability of the stern drive to hold its trim position. Visual inspection may reveal cracks or corrosion on the housing.

Q: Does this kit include everything needed for the job?

A: This kit includes all the core components for the replacement: the plate, block body, gaskets, bolts, and lockwashers. You will need to supply your own tools and fresh power trim/tilt fluid.

Plastic cut my dog
Color: Mixed, Size: Medium
If your pet chews a lot do not buy. My dog chewed the plastic and cut her nose when grabbing the toy because of how sharp it became.

Great for aggressive chewers
Color: Mixed, Size: Medium
This toy held up well. My dog is a very aggressive chewer and will shred apart any toy she can. She was not able to tear up this one. I have not found many toys that she doesn't destroy

Best Balls Ever!!!

Finally a ball my power chewers cannot destroy
Size: Medium
I have two dogs, an American Bully and an American Pit Bull Terrier, and both of them love to chew. Most balls last a very short time around here before they are shredded or missing big chunks. This one has actually held up. They chase it, tug on it and sit and chew on it, and it is still in one piece with no pieces breaking off. One of my favorite things is being able to put food inside. I add some kibble or small snacks, and they will happily sit and work on it for a long time. It keeps them busy, gives them something safe to chew, and they get a little reward while they play. When they are done, I just rinse it out and it is ready to go again. If you have strong jawed dogs that usually destroy toys, this ball is worth trying. Mine really enjoy it and I feel better knowing they finally have a ball that can keep up with them.

My dog LOVES this ball
Size: Medium, Size: Medium
Does your dog destroy tennis balls in seconds? Yes? Then your dog NEEDS this ball! It's squishy like a tennis ball, fits in ball launchers (even the cheap ones) and bounces when it hits the ground. My dog has been literally playing with this ball all day and not a single mark on it! The only bad thing is that it does not float. Definitely worth the money! Put it in your cart!
