Installation Guide

  1. Safety First: Disconnect the boat's battery and ensure the stern drive is in the fully down position and properly supported.
  2. Access the Manifold: Locate the hydraulic manifold assembly on the gimbal housing. It is typically found where the hydraulic lines enter the transom.
  3. Drain Fluid: Place a drain pan under the assembly to catch any residual hydraulic fluid upon disconnection.
  4. Disconnect Lines: Carefully disconnect the four hydraulic lines from the manifold block. Label them to ensure correct reassembly.
  5. Remove Old Assembly: Unbolt the two mounting screws holding the manifold body and plate to the housing. Remove the entire old assembly, including gaskets.
  6. Clean Surface: Thoroughly clean the mounting surface on the gimbal housing to remove old gasket material and corrosion.
  7. Install New Assembly: Place one new gasket onto the new manifold body, position it against the housing, place the second gasket on the plate, and secure the new assembly using the new mounting bolts and lockwashers.
  8. Reconnect Lines: Reconnect the four hydraulic lines to their correct ports on the new junction block. Ensure fittings are snug but not overtightened.
  9. Refill and Bleed: Refill the power trim pump reservoir with the manufacturer-recommended hydraulic fluid. Cycle the trim up and down several times to bleed air from the system, checking the fluid level and topping off as needed.
  10. Check for Leaks: With the system pressurized, carefully inspect all connections for any signs of hydraulic fluid leaks before returning the vessel to service.

Super easy and inexpensive
Size: (Pack of 1)
It was super easy to swap out myself! I just searched “how to change engine air filter 2017 Acura RDX” on YouTube and watched the first video that popped up. It took me longer to type this than it did to change the filter. Plus, this one cost about a third of what Valvoline was going to charge me to replace it.

It's an air filter
It's an air filter. Fit as it was supposed to and it's cheaper than letting the dealership change it out
