exhaust air cylinders [replacements?]
 

got harrassed by the boat police at the fuel dock

little air compressor working like a champ old air cylinders seem to be not working air leaks around shaft . any replacement ideas that arnt 70 bucks apiece from gaffrig?

Take them apart. Theres O-rings in there. You can get the orings at most hardware stores.

That and don't lubricate them with oil - use dish soap - just a few drops into the air fitting. I tried oil on mine years ago and it made them worse, Talked to a MERC guy and he told me to use dish soap.

I had the same issue a couple years ago. I replaced the internal O rings as MT said and problem solved.
They look like one piece, but the endcaps do unscrew.

will take them off today and try that thank you for the help
new ones are like 70 bucks each!

This was from another thread of the same subject. I saved the info, just not the thread.

I replaced mine a year or two ago for less than 1/2 Gaffrig price, I'll try to find the receipt. On the subject, has anyone replaced the little air pump/compressor? I took mine all apart last year and it failed again after a couple days... Very prone to salt.
