Trim Cylinder Pin Cap Bushing Hardware Kit for MerCruiser Alpha 1 Gen 2
Restore precise hydraulic control to your stern drive with this Trim Cylinder Pin Cap Bushing Hardware Kit. Engineered specifically for the MerCruiser Alpha 1 Gen 2 outboard platform, this set acts as an exact substitute for OE reference 9B-116 and SEI Marine part 9B-116. Saltwater immersion and repetitive stress quickly degrade these load-bearing bushings and retaining clips, leading to excessive steering free-play, sluggish trim response, and accelerated cylinder wear. Swapping out hardened or cracked components restores firm linkage geometry, reduces pump strain, and brings reliable track-holding performance back to your daily runs.
Benefits & Maintenance Tips
- Evaluate these bushings each season before winter storage to stop minor abrasion from becoming costly pump damage.
- Lubricate mating pins with a light coat of waterproof marine grease during reassembly to improve cycling speed and prevent galvanized seizure.
- Work methodically around the power tilt unit; dropping a small clip or O-ring into the reservoir cavity can introduce contamination that affects full trim function.
