ASD Vertical Trim
 

I would like to know how many of the OX owners run the vertical trim on their surface drives. I would also like to know how much of a neccesity is it to have? I see most boats are like 50/50 split on who has it and who does not.

I have a 2002 without trim. I think it would be nice to have. If you are looking for a boat it may be for sale.

Re: ASD Vertical Trim
 

I don't and I think it is stupid that it don't have it.

Mad mac I have the fixed style asd's on my 39' ox. They are still adjustable manually for fine tuning. I live in lambertville area and would be pleased to show you my set-up and share any knowledge I have on asd drives. My friend has hydraulic trim on his asd drives. He is a short drive away. Gene

Hay PhatKat I appreciate the offer when you want me to stop over? I would love to check it out. I am mechanicly inclinded but I have never really looked it over. I was wondering what has to be done to convert them over? is there anything in the drive that needs to be done or can you just setup a trim clyinder and pump setup to do it.

You are looking at 7,000 a cyclinder.

Re: ASD Vertical Trim
 

why so much i can build them way less than that ( I am a machinist and have my own hydraulics repair shop at home) I can build whatever you would like to have, they will have more Bling than the 7 granders I have built many setups for hydraulic steering systems so I know they can't be much more work.

Re: ASD Vertical Trim
 

They are not $7K per cylinder. More like per pair.

Please do not judge an Arneson on what OE butchered together.

They were never sold the way Ross put them together, rather Ross put together what ever he could find, hence the fixed welded pipe system he made.

Like you said, build your own. Sell a set to Mark too, he is wanting a set for a dirt cheap also.:D

Re: ASD Vertical Trim
 

Rik, I had the opportunity to butch together a set but you scared me. I have been safety conscious lately. $7,000 a pair, I might be calling you this summer.:rolleyes:

Re: ASD Vertical Trim
 

Mark what will it take to convince you of a custom made set?

Re: ASD Vertical Trim
 

$7000?? I need to be making steering cylinders not shocks :eek:

Re: ASD Vertical Trim
 

Similiar size, shape and performance.

my brother has them on his 39....its the catz azz
