Thanks Tim - you were right about swapping the 2 pump wires to 12 volts and
ground to test the motor.

I tapped the trim motor with a rubber hammer and it came back to life, so it's
definitely bad.

Can I remove and replace the motor from the pump assembly without it leaking the
fluid out?

You're welcome, Larry. Usually what happens is that corrosion gets
involved and sticks the brushes int heir holders, either that or the
seal is bad in thepump itself and has filled the motor with fluid.

You probably can take the motor off the pump, but $172.00 loos steep
to me.

Tell you what, I'll call one of my facoret parts houses tomorrow, and
see what a new motor is. I['m sure it's less than that, and if you
want I'll order you one. You'll be getting it at my cost + the
warehouses shipping.

It's a favor I do to folks how hang on rec.boats.


Thanks for the offer Tim but I already ordered the motor from a local source.

The customer wants the boat for this weekend and doesn't care about the cost.
I'm having it shipped overnight (love working for people like that).

So if the seal isn't bad, should I be able to swap the motor without losing the
fluid?

Thanks again
Larry
