    When I finally went to winterize my boat yesterday I trimmed the 200 Opti up and a horrible feeling overcame me. The bottom of the hydraulic cylinder leaked about 2oz of hydraulic fluid. It was nice and pink…no water in it. Appears to have a leaking seal. Does anyone have a rocommendation for a hydraulic cylinder repair service somewhere in the Twin Cities? Prefereably North Metro. Last time I had to have trim work done it cost me nearly $1K. Should be much cheaper in my mind. Your thoughts are much appreciated…keep in mind…the Trim I’m talking about is hydraulic

    Bring it to Rapid in Ham Lake, and request that Chad or Ernie repair it. Both are very good mechanics

    Hannay’s in St. Anthony. Ask for Don (service manager). Nate is one of their best mechanics. I’ve had lots of work done by them on several boats. Always fair and affordable.
