I have a '79 Mercury V-150 V6. Dual cylinder tilt system, round-motor Prestolite pump mounted inside the boat. Both pump and motor are going out.
I'm finding it next to impossible to find a complete replacement that doesn't cost half what the boat is worth. Most of what I can find is "motor and reservoir only with no valve body." In other words, no pump. Just the motor.
Will this newer "Oildyne" type of pump work as a replacement?

It's for 225-275 horse Mercruiser. But just looking at it, other than possibly needing to adapt the hose fittings, I can't see why not. I'll try to contact the manufacturer, but thought I'd ask here, too.
