Cobra trim problem solved - another quick question
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? This is the motor http://www.go2marine.com/product.do?no=75298F Thanks 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 |

Thanks again Larry- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Larry, you shouldn't have any problem. the motor sould come off thed base of the pump. It might take a bit of jarring, but the pump should be self contained. Chances are that the armature will fit into the pump and will couple to the pump via a flattened shaft fitting into a "slot" inside the pump. The way that motor looks to me is that the brush assy is located at the base of the motor instead of out on the end. you can probably do a visual inspection on the brushes when you get the motor off. |

I'd hang on to the old motor. A simple disassembly, cleaning, lube, and reassmebly fixes most dc motors if the windings are not burn out. The brushes make a mess inside after a while. |
