My gosh man. I know this is a old video but I remove 5-7 of these every single year marine mechanic 26 years now and I have never removed a exhaust not once. Ive done everything from crownlines to cobalts to glastrons. from v6 to big 8.2L Big Blocks Some hard to get to and some not. But not once have I removed exhaust manifold or a riser.
So I bought the kit probably same as you but inner seal was also small like you explained and couldn't get a refund but all I really wanted was to know where to get the inner seal that goes in before the dust seal cover because it needs to be tighter and it was lose after I put it in. I noticed you show a picture of the 4 orings together and I'm sure I also need the biggest one
You need to buy it from Orings and Things. Watch and listen to the video carefully. I made specific comments regarding wrong part bought from eBay. So many other boaters have had success.
For the (2) large orange seals i went to a local seal supply house and they are polypak 2-1/4x2-1/2x1/8. PP12502250. the only difference is this replacement does not have a wiper. Will update when back together and running. @phamasite pretty much covers the rest!
I just ordered and they made a kit now based on your video. You made them famous. I didnt even have to say what I was looking for and she knew it was for a volvo penta. They said they tried to reach out to you in the past. Thank you for making this video.
Will you let me know what kit you ordered. I have done various searches and I get a ton of options to choose from with no pictures indicating what I'm getting.
Thank for posting this video! My seal finally gave up the ghost. Got my actuator out (pain the ass!!!!!), O-Rings and Things have made a kit just for this purpose. They were super helpful and I got my kit in 2 days. I did have to have a shop install the seal. I could not get it after 3 hours of trying. The re-install if the actuator was a walk in the park. Had the boat out today and NO LEAKS!. Thanks again for the video.
Thanks for your video. I seem to have a leak in the same spot. I only have a few hours use of it. not much leaking but not sure how bad it will get or how quickly.
Hi there, I am having a problem with a leak coming out of the larger cylinder. You have taken yours apart starting at 8:06 in the video. How did you remove the cylinder from the larger cylinder starting at 8:06? I don't want to break mine, but it seems like there is a metal stop which is preventing me from removing it from your picture. Thanks in advance for any information you can give me.
Good video bro but man you sure got into that inner seal install. lol If they couldn't get it from that detail there's no hope for em. I subscribed to your page. I have a page too. I'm getting ready to start a new series on what I've been into the past 5 years which is mainly 7 Marine stuff and some other stuff. Good job! I gave you a thumbs up and subscribed. Nick
Can you tell me what year your doing? I have a 01' horizon 180le and I can't even see the actuator and was told the engine had to be removed....there is zero room wondering how you got it out
Leaking from hole (plugged) by the blue end cap So I just pulled mine and rebuilt thinking the seal was bad. I noticed while part it looked fairly decent. Seals looked intact. I put it back together, plugged the line connections, and worked the ram. I was shocked to hear air sucking. It sounded like it was coming from the blue cap. After looking closer I see there is a factory hole that was machines into the end, which looks like it had been plugged with a threaded plug. Air was leaking quite easily past it (this is also where I saw the ATF leaking out. My question is what is this for? Can I plug it with JB Weld (or some type of epoxy), it is it supposed to breathe? Seems this is the source of my problem but not sure the best remedy.
Very helpful, Thanks you.O-Ring and Things was super helpful and knew that part number well.It is definitely a pain in the ass to get that seal in there, but your method worked and sealed it right up!Thanks again.2004 Crestliner Pontoon. Serial# 3862210
Thank you so much!!!! We just pulled the actuator and replaced the Orings. Cost $30 dollars and the shop installed the difficult Oring for us! Again thank you! (three trips offshore and so far all is good.)
They were exactly what was quoted in the video. The hydraulic shop knew what I needed. They even installed the difficult one. It took them like 2 minutes. Lol!
Great. video! Thank you! Called OringsandThings.com and they were very helpful. Apparently, your RU-vid video, showing their contact info, has brought them numerous callers for the seals, and they knew exactly what we needed. Both seals (inner and outer dust) are on the way. We have a 2004 Chaparral 210 SSI. Almost impossible to remove actuator as is. We loosened aeroseal clamps holding bottom of exhaust elbows (5/16" nutdriver), then four bolts holding exhaust risers, and removed both units as one piece. Makes access, removing cotter pins, pins, and actuator much easier.
I think you are referring to the big ring embedded in the big cylinder. If that is the case, it's the ring to guide the rod from moving back and forth. I's not something to prevent oil leak
Very helpful video! Thanks!!! Single lip works great. I recommend an oil seal with spring in place of the wiper seal. A little loc-tite holds it in place.
Hi, Thanks for the video, thanks to you we figured how to tear it down for maintenance. Can you give us service manual link 'cos we need bigger parts disassembly and gaskets part number. We couldn't find it anywhere. Thank you.
Very help full right up!!! Does anyone have any good photos or video of the #14 cotter pins and the #13 bolts? Just trying to picture what I am in for and what i should be looking for. Thanks in advance!!
I have you exact same actuator and problem so I am gonna attempt the fix myself as you did, the pack of black O rings you have in the video, did you order those as part of a kit or where those a bunch of random ones you picked up, I am gonna try to have everything ordered and here at home as to try to minimize my downtime. Thank you in advance for the video it is very informative.
All you need is the oring i circled on the invoice 16x24x5. Bought it as a single item from oring and things. They have a website. Package from ebay does not fit. They claim it does. My video is choppy but if you listen carefully everything info is correct. i think black package u refer to is from ebay. I would have to watch video again when i have time
Awesome!! Thank you so much for this video. I am currently going to tackle this same project soon. mine was leaking out the the same spot. So just to confirm, the correct seal sing is 16x22x5?
Yes. That is the right seal. It may seems impossible to get it in but it takes some time and you'll get it in. When you put the rod back in, it seems very tight but dont worry. Once everything is put together and you use your steering wheel to turn You won't notice the friction.
@@phamasite Hello phamasite... 1st great video, extremely helpful. Always appreciate those who go to such extremes to help others. Same issue for me, I have 2 questions. Q1: Can you kindly share your "O-Rings and Things" invoice number? The nice people at O-Rings and Things (Shawna) said she could look up your order info so they can supply me the same rod seal. Q2: Did you also order a new wiper seal (dust seal)? What did you use for that seal. Appreciate you. RandyF
