Just wondering if anyone has ever upgraded the alpha 1 trim pump for something newer. Mine is working fine since I realized it was low on fluid. So this would be just for the sake of upgrade. And I'm sure unnecessary headaches for me LOL. I included a pic of the type I have. Mostly I would like to get rid of those peskytrim pump.JPG solenoids.

You have a single solenoid setup, the newer models use two solenoids. The reason for them is they carry the amperage to move the drive that can not be run through the trim button.

What exactly is your problem, because you can't run that pump without solenoids or relays to carry the current.

I'm trying to figure out if one of the newer pumps that dont use solenoids can be used on these old systems?
