Trim/Tilt Pump on 225 Mercury

[Snookerd]

Thanks for the responses..........Ken-The case is rusted and may be toast, what's the cost of a new pump? Brian-The idea to swap pumps to test is a good one. Blue-Thx for the relief valve comment.

i dont think you need a pump. i just had the same thing happen to me. i changed out the motor and have been fine ever since. i would look ebay or screamandfly.com for a trim motor.

I think your solinoids are the same as mine? - they are right between the 2 cylinder banks - the top is down bottom is up and you will probably hear it click - take a screw driver hit the up switch and just cross the 2 large terminals and it will come up - they are cheap although there are only a couple, the correct one will have rubber grommets on the mounting plate - $52 - buy the one without grommits $29 use your grommets to mount it simple - a Merc dealer will be able to get the solinoid for that motor without grommets - I think they are Mercruisers and grommet style for outboards. NAPA has them too but the Sierra I bought only lasted a year.

We tested it last light and it is the trim motor. Thx again Blue and ESD. Off to search out that part........
