I just arrived in NY traveling from New Mexico and the pump to lift my motor will no longer operate. It is a single hydraulic ram with the tilt motor on the inside of the boat. It acts like a froze up starter and just the solenoid clicks. I have been looking for an aftermarket self contained unit that fits on the outside but none for 150 hp plus. There are plenty of repair parts on line but I would rather fox it right with something newer in technology and lighter in weight. The motor is affixed to an 82' ranger 350V. I have spent many hours and dollars to get this vessel operational and really wanted to take my son fishing before his trip to Afghanistan later this fall. I appreciate any and all suggestions of how best to solve this problem quickly and as cheap as possible (if that's possible in this economy). Thank you all for your time.
