Hello RDP,
I am in the process of upgrading from the stock gimbal ring to the SS Hill version. I have basically ordered everything new to fully rebuild this assembly. My main question is if it is possible to replace the raw water pickup (the one that causes Bravoitis) hose while the engine is still in the boat? Since I'm there and it is part of the kit I want to replace it if I can, I was told by Ron at JR Marine that it is damn near impossible with the engine in, but being an auto mechanic by trait I know nothing is impossible lol.
If anyone can chime in on this that owns one. I had a difficult time inserting the rod through the gimbal ring that secures the trim cylinders, the holes were off by a few thousandths. The rod will not freely move side to side like it did in the OEM version. Is this OK? Thanks
