power trim hydraulic hose repair

[wshenk]

I need to replace the interior hydraulic hoses on my power trim system. Do I have to pull the engine to get to these hoses. I have tried to pull the hydraulic manifold block outside the boat but can not pull it far enough out to get to the hoses.

You need to remove all the clamps holding the hoses, break them if necessary to get movement of the hoses. Make sure you use a quality pull string or you will have to pull the motor
