I swear this boat is gonna put me in an early grave. I ordered all new external drive trim hoses. Merc shows part #32-87558 for portside ram hose. I ordered new ones and the distance to the solid bend is a little over an inch short and the distance on the vertical jump is HUGE. It clearly will not work. what am I missing here?

Did the bag have a little piece of paper in it that said "made in china" or "hecho in mexico" ?

07-24-2009 08:12 AMYou should have a casting part # in the ram that will match the line with, you have the longer ram, I'am sure, did you look it up or the parts man. If you get no help let me know having both port & stbd ram casting # and I'll give you the part # from what ever after-market or Mercs #. Mark

07-24-2009 10:04 AMMark, I thought only the internal hose rams came in two lengths. I don't recall TRS ever having two lengths. External lines only ever came in one length . The early short internal ones were on #3's and others. Am I wrong?
