15" offshore mid
I'm in the process of rebuilding my 15" mid and I can't find the bushings for the upper end of the trim ram. The original ones look to be a fiber material. Has anyone just used brass bushings for this. Thanks

Are you talking about the ones that go in between the mid and the arm up top? They are usually yellow on one side and have like a small copper area on the other?

No, that's not the ones. They're a pressed in bushing. The bolt that connects the piston rod end of the trim cylinder actually goes through them. One on each side.

I used a small punch and hammer to destroy the old ones and break into pieces to get it out

That's what I wound up doing as well. Do you know what the bottom bushings are used for? I thought they may be mounting holes for the short trim ram? I don't recall removed anything from the bottom holes on mine.
