Current replacement assemblies include a trim-hose O-ring and brass ferrule. After installation, operate and bleed the trim system per the applicable Volvo Penta service procedure. Verify smooth travel through the complete 52° tilt range and check all connections for leakage before returning the vessel to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated Parts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/volvo-280\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolvo Penta Starboard Trimming Cylinder 22187386\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e — matching starboard-side 52° cylinder for SX-A\/DPS-A\/DPS-B drives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/volvo-247\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolvo Penta Power Steering Cylinder 21910902 – SX\/DPS Sterndrive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e — steering cylinder for the same drive family\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/volvo-1539\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolvo Penta Trim Pump 21945915\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e — hydraulic trim pump for SX\/DPS sterndrive systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is 22187385 the port or starboard cylinder?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: 22187385 is the \u003cstrong\u003eport (left-hand) side\u003c\/strong\u003e trimming cylinder.

Replacing both at the same service avoids a repeat job shortly after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What causes trim cylinder failure on SX-A\/DPS drives?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The most common causes are corrosion on the piston rod (especially in saltwater environments), seal wear from age or contaminated hydraulic fluid, and physical damage to the rod or fittings. Regular anode service and keeping the hydraulic fluid clean extend cylinder life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three identification points for this part are port side, 52° tilt, and SX-A\/DPS-A\/DPS-B drive family. Do not order by appearance alone — Volvo Penta also used 32° and 42° cylinders on related transom systems, and they look similar but are not interchangeable. If a customer is replacing one cylinder due to a leak, recommend inspecting the starboard cylinder (22187386) at the same time. Also check the trim hoses and hydraulic fittings while the drive is apart — a cylinder replacement is a good opportunity to address any hose wear before it becomes the next service call.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43563991400484,"sku":"22187385","price":1024.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/7f217938-9ca7-4e6e-bff9-a00e1fc1fb97.png?v=1787452256","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/volvo-279","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
