They were used on mercury Outboard's with trim back in the 70's. I have a couple used like the pic with extra seal kits and a brand new set that superceeded the ones in the pics.

not worried about the rams. does anyone know about the transom bracket and the plate. if you look at the hinge on the transom side, you will see the crack.

They look aluminum, just grind the cracks out fill up with weld bead. That's what I have done. If you don't have a TIG setup, any welding / machine shop can do it. Shouldn't cost much, it will be more work getting the tabs off the boat the welding them up.

I’ve heard MR=Mel Riggs

I’ve seen dual cylinders (like keikhaefer 600s) also. They were on 1976 staggered drive 29 Mirage back in the day.
