I have a 83 Merc SN - 627935. The Tilt motor Pic1. (Square SAE J1171) is giving me trouble. It clicks then will move very slow after I tap it with a hammer. Sometimes I see smoke coming out around the motor wires. I think its time to replace it (Pic2 Im guessing this is the correct replacement). Can I get some help with getting the correct motor?735135786_o.jpg18-6768_0.jpg

I dont know if you can get replacement motors for those square prestolite pumps. Maybe you can. You can get the brush plate and brushes for them. 99% of the time thats all thats wrong with them when they die.

I'd replace tha whole thing with something like whats in tha other picture. You MIGHT haft ta change tha pump end hose fitting's or get some type of adapter's. Don't remember whats what with that. Look around all over tha net and you will find 'em priced pretty decent....They have a different bracket for 'em also that doesn't take up near tha room tha one in tha picture does..........jmo
