      Looking for an answer to age old question. Has anyone ever found a replacement or a source to rebuild the hydraulic lift cylinder ?   


        Thanks H-T

  The thread with information to rebuild/recharge the OMC cylinder is buried 'somewhere' in the ArimaOwners search function - if you can find it.  Maybe someone else can remember???
   There was one on my boat when I bought it - I disassembled it and sold the parts.  I don't believe there's a replacement available anywhere, and the originals are likely to be worn out.   Good luck.

Ahoy Hydro-Therapy and welcome aboard!

Do a search for ohmytodd and you will find a complete video of a rebuild of the OMC bracket.

I have rebuilt several pistons thru the years. Super simple! O-rings, ATF, and dry ice.

You can do this!

Good luck and let us know how you make out.

Also, ohmytodd is located in Oregon.

Perhaps that's even better!

       I have tried this several times using different amounts of dry ice and oil with no success over the past few years. Is why I was inquiring about a new solution. The lifting a 15hp four stroke has gotten to be to much for me and my crew.

  For all of the newbies on here who don't recognize my name I am one of old farts from the beginning of this site.

I recharged mine.  It's difficult to get the amount just right.  I came up a little light for a 15 hp kicker but it wasn't bad.  I've since swapped to a fixed bracket and new kicker but if you want my old bracket, it is your for free in Bellingham.

   I  would like to be able to get your old bracket. But getting it to Hillsboro from Bellingham . I was wondering if Arima Owners express is still running ? And if so send it that way. I will make another post asking for help on this.

     

   Thanks. H-T
