Faster Trim

[Rick Bullock]

Who makes/sells faster responding trim motors? Is this strickly a racing item... can they/it adapt to a stock motor? RB

run a 24 volt system via 2 motorcycle batteries, use one to start, 2 for trim.

Quicken, that's dangerous advice to give without detailed instructions. If you don't clearify it and he gets the 24 volts to the electrical system also you might help him spend a bunch of money on parts.

Is it even possible that a 12v pump will live at 24v ? And if it will , for how long ? Or would this be for racing only application so it would not get used too much ?

but I have seen some people run the mercruiser I/O trim pumps on outboards, and say that they work faster. ~GB

I've got 24V on the upside of the trim on my yellow boat, but it's switchable to 12V. The mid is a single ram type which is admittedly faster on it's own, but using the 24V setting makes it all but useless for anything but a dragrace situation with micro switches hooked up to limit travel. It's so fast in the 24V setting that there's no boat feel left and the changes are instant instead of gradual. I've had the Mercruiser pumps on some of my older stuff and do think they're faster, but it may be because of the valving. If the armature/pump itself is any different from the old style outboard stuff I'm not aware of it.

My single ram set-up seems to be fast enough for my application , outside of racing what use would faster trim have ?
