Trim Pump Hoses - Where?
I need to buy two new pair of hydraulic lines for my trim pumps to the outdrives that are longer then the ones that came with the boat.
Who makes or sells these?
Thanks

Thanks I'll give you a call.
I need two pair that are 96 Inches long each (8 feet) and the end that goes to the pump needs to be as tight/shory of a 90 degree as they can make.
Thanks

Kurt,
Nice to talk with you today and thanks for your effort to help.
Mike Mays at CP Performance was able to make them right up and I will have them in a couple of days.
Have fun on your trip.

Well still no luck.
I thought that Mike at CP Performance had me fixed up but the hoses came in with the wrong size fittings. They are smaller then the ones on my boat. He says I have something special and just need to adapt to it but there is not room for adapters in the small junction box under the outdrive.
I have called four hydraulic shops in North Carolina (three are parker)and two in South Carolina and they all tell me they haev the small ones but not the larger ones.
My Mercury guy tells me that what I have is standard since 1986 with Mercury and he cannot understand why the problems getting them either.
The fittings I have measure 7/16 of an inch diameter outside diameter on the threads and the ones Mike sent me which he calls standard measure 3/8 inch outside diameter.
Does anyone have any ideas?
This is about to drive me crazy and we have already relocated the pumps and I need two pair of hoses 8 feet long each.

Nice talking with you today. Here are some pictures showing the brass larger fitting that my setup requires and the smaller size that Mike sent me.
It is an 02 Model Mercury XR drive and of course these are the hoses that run from the trim pum through the transom assembly and fit into the distribution block on the bottom of the outdrive.
Let me know if you can help.
Thank you
Mark

Mark ..... are the big ends only on the Drive end ? and then the short section passes thru the Transom Assembly ? I replaced mine from the short hose to the trim pumps ...just a coupling for the hose comming thru the Transom. Those were easy to get from Parker Hose ... ......m
