I noticed that I have a line leak, starboard side trim tab, it is tight so Im thinking it has a crack in the fitting hard line, best place to purchase ?

TIA

new guy here so i may be wrong and also im on the west coast so we may do things a little different over here haha but my local parts store hase a swage crimping tool, they can make all kinds of hydro lines... hope that helps

Post a pic. (plastic coated or stainless) I have a few laying around. I can send it to you if it matches.

about 9.5 inch 90* fitting one end and straight on the other, plastic coated

Just went to the shop and looked. I do not have it. I'd just order it from BAM. #7 $42 not too bad.
Genuine Mercury & Mercruiser parts. K Plane, 280S (Trim Tab)(842768A01/ A03/ A04/ A05)

order part...

or go to local hydraulic shop. we have a place in MA (mcgill hose and coupling) they can custom make anything.

had these fitting custom made...so we could re-use hydraulic lines in boat.

Ahh... the dreaded reverse flare fitting. I'm in Jacksonville, FL and there are only two places that will make those. Had to do all my hydraulic lines for tabs, steering, and tilt/trim. What a pain just finding a shop that could make them.

thanks, guys.........I ordered 4 new ones from Crowley....
