    Default 88 OMC Cobra 5.0 Trim Motor Repalcement Part Number

    Can some one please tell me the correct trim/tilt motor to replace the original for a 1988 OMC CObra 5.0?? I have searched several of the online part stores including iBoats and can find one for most every year but 88. The current motor works intermittently and tapping the case tends to get it to run for a few seconds. Had the motor apart a few years ago. Cleaned brushes etc and ran fine but now is weak (acts like the battery is low) and internittent. I have verified voltages and relays are OK and battery is fully charged (main starter cranks forever). I think simplest repair is to replace the trim motor.

    Is it the 2 wire motor with 2 mounting screws?
    It should be a Prestolite pump..

    I am not sure of the type. The boat is an hour drive from here and I was hoping to find the motor and take it up there next trip. My pump assembly looks exactly like this.

    I am still looking for an answer/part number, either for the replacement or for the original OMC motor. I have one replacement source that says they can cross from the original OMC number. I posted a photo of the whole pump assembly above but all I really need is the motor.

    Found i thanks to another post where I found the link to the BRP Catalogs. Seems I have a 0984355 complete pump assembly with Motor 0984356. One "new" on eBay for $150.
