Hello all,
I recently purchased a new tilt/trim motor for my boat, right here at iboats, after mine (the obsolete 819479A 1) recently failed. I purchased part number 18-6777. It appears compatible in almost every way, and I've read literature directing me to this part to replace the existing/failed one - yet there seems to be a problem. The new part came with no instructions or paperwork, and three drive shafts of 3 lengths. However, when I try to put any of those driveshafts into the pump kit that remains on the boat, underneath where the pump resides, they don't seem to fit. I have the old drive shaft for old failed pump, and it fits just fine into the new pump- but is too long to be used, and again, doesn't appear to fit into the base unit.
I hope I've explained my problem well enough to make some sense, and I hope someone can suggest a solution my problem.
As always, thanks for your time, and your assisting a rookie....
