[QUOTE="Stumpalump, post: 444075, member: 13140"] I have one on my 48. Mine works after adjusting but they have a track record that is not great. The biggest problem is fixed by adjusting the cable but beyond that you are looking at a very costly replacement if you can find the part. I would not trust a used one. If yours is not releasing well and hard to lift then maybe you can live with a small leak and get it working again buy adjusting the cable housing longer. If it's beyond that I'd look at removing the heavy unit to save weight and install an aftermarket trim unit. Great motor and trim would make it eceptional. [/QUOTE]
