Power Trim Tilt Cylinder End Cap 878239A02 811606 for Mercury 135 150 175 200 225 HP
Power Trim Tilt Cylinder End Cap 878239A02 811606 for Mercury 135 150 175 200 225 HP
Product Overview
Power trim tilt cylinder end cap assembly 878239A02 that fits Mercury and Mariner 135 HP to 225 HP outboards, replacing 878239, 878239A1, 811606, 878412A1, 8M0090322 and FSM042, with a new oil seal and both O rings already fitted. The cap is 15 cm across the pack and 180 g with packing.
Fitment is by serial number rather than by year: the 135 HP and 150 HP run 0G610050 to 0G856999, the 200 HP EFI runs 1B504989 to 2B528096, the 225 HP DFI runs 1B504989 to 2B535086, and the 225 HP DFI DTS runs from 1B504989 upward. The full list is in the fitment table.
The end cap is where a trim cylinder weeps. Water sits in the trim ram cavity, the wiper lets salt past, the oil seal hardens, and the motor starts to creep down overnight or leaves an oil film on the water. By the time the trim moves slowly the cap bore is usually scored, so the cap comes as a complete assembly with the seal and both O rings rather than as loose parts.

Signs The End Cap Is Leaking
| What You See | What It Means | What To Do |
|---|---|---|
| Motor creeps down overnight | Oil passing the end cap seal | Fit the cap assembly and top up the fluid |
| Oil film on the water behind the boat | End cap weeping | Fit the cap assembly |
| Trim slow and noisy | Low fluid from a slow leak | Fit the cap, then bleed the system |
| Water in the trim fluid | Wiper let water past the seal | Fit the cap and flush the system twice |
| Trim will not hold at cruise | Internal bypass, cylinder scored | Check the cylinder bore before refitting |
| Fluid loss at the pump, not the ram | Pump or hose fault | Pressure test before changing the cap |
Fitting Notes
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Read the serial number off the transom bracket and check the fitment table |
| 2 | Tilt the motor fully up and support it before any fluid work |
| 3 | Clean around the cap so nothing drops into the trim reservoir |
| 4 | Take the old cap off and let the fluid drain into a clean tray |
| 5 | Check the ram for scoring and the cylinder bore for water damage |
| 6 | Fit the new cap assembly with the new O rings, lubricate them with trim fluid |
| 7 | Torque the cap to the manual figure and refill with the correct trim fluid |
| 8 | Cycle the trim up and down several times, check the level and look for leaks |
