North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

This is in no way, shape or form a thread to bag out local businesses more so it pays to think outside the box.

The top seal recently went on my Suzuki trim and tilt reservoir tank. I called up a local shop and was quoted round $280 as you couldn’t buy just the seal, you had to buy the reservoir tank which came with the seal. After looking online I could get it from the USA for about $180 delivered. Stuff this, it’s only a bl..dy seal. So I went to a local hydraulic shop with the old seal and tank and after a few measurements they could order the same seal but one that also has a metal ring inside to make it stronger and has a dust cover (main reason these seals go) So for only a few bucks I’ll be back on the water and not close to $300 out of pocket.

Like I said I’m not bagging local businesses but have a think about things before you whip out the credit card. B.O.A.T. doesn't have to stand for Bring On Another Thousand

You are the man Mippa !!!

hahaha GOTD Trev!!

Cheers for the tip Mippa.
That is the way I like to do things as the more you work on your engine the more confident you get at attempting a repair.
You can get most seals and O rings from an aftermarket supplier.
What's the worst thing that could happen, the seal leaks again.
If it doesn't you save heaps.
