Just looking for some ideas on how most guys run the power trim lines with the single ram.

I made a bulk head panel in the splash well of my Seebold.
Fed the lines for Steering, trim and jack plate.
Inside lines were tucked underneath, then short hoses to feed corresponding units.
I'll see if I can find a pic.

p.s. - your stuff was shipped yesterday morning. Tracking number coming soon.

Thats how id like to do it. Im having a hard time finding a place to make up the hoses. locally no one can seem to get the stainless fittings. Where did you get the short lines made up?

I had a local company make up all my lines.

The trick is finding someone who knows their stuff!!
If you call these guys ask for Chris Brown

The fittings were JIC style SS.

I did something similar on my Challenger 21 steering lines.
I used all off the shelf Aeroquip fittings and made up my own braided stainless lines with aluminum fittings for the splash well side. On the inside I used regular hydraulic hose from the bulkhead fittings in the splash well up to the helm.
Let me know if you want some pics.......I'll send em to Brent & he can post em.....I still haven't figured that part out.....
