Hi, I have a 42 year old Skipjack 20' Open. I have owned it for 20 years, have replaced 3 motors and 3 outdrives in that time frame. I have over 400 crossings to the Channel Islands in California and back. Believe it or not, I'm just now having to replace the original MerCrusier tilt/trim motor for the first time. I'm having a bit of a problem locating and identifying the original type. I know I could update to a newer type, but would like to find a re-manufactured or original style so I did not have to reconfigure plumbing, electrical, and mounts. The original was a upright motor with the black reservoir connected to the bottom. It has 1 stainless filler plug/screw on one corner of the reservoir and one solenoid on the right side.

Any help with assisting me with a part #, or vendor would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Craig.
