I need to replace my entire trim pump assembly. My motor just died, the reservoir leaks, and the bracket looks as if it has a few hours before it totally disintegrates. Has anyone had any luck with the aftermarket assembly. Reason I ask is price related. Mercruiser is anywhere from $500 to a 1k. I have found the aftermarket assembly as low as $300.00. Thoughts?

Howdy,


If I was looking for one I would probably get one from ebay. I lost count after looking there.

I think most of the $300 or less priced (new) ones are "after market" but I wouldn't hesitate to get one if I couldn't rebuild mine....


Regards,


Rick

I just scored on this OEM trim pump on ebay. You might see that it's the one I bought, but there is still one left as of 2:15 pm Pacific time. As soon as I saw this I jumped on it, I was watching an aftermarket setup for $229, but I was patient and kept watching every day. You can get just about everything you need to replace on the 'bay!

Don't want to make you feel bad achris, but it was $199, not $299, and don't you get ebay down there? I've shipped to Australia before, but alot of people here don't want to ship outside the US for whatever reason... It's a little more work, but I'll ship anywhere! If I didn't have ebay, my boat would now be a jungle gym for the kids, had to replace alot of stuff on it that isn't made anymore, but I found it all on the 'bay:D...Cheers!
