Got this pump along with a blown motor I bought for parts... wondering if it's worth keeping or should I get rid of it...everything works great, has new solenoids, new trim lines...no leaks etc...would be using it on a 2.5L carbed merc. Thanks.

Fresh fluid, and run it till it blows.....
What he said.
those old pumps don't die.....or at least the 2 I've had wouldn't.
they aren't fast but they last.

Motor, bracket, can, etc. will all interchange but you jst need the pump itself!
Mercruiser Pump + 24v = Rock'n Roll!!!
Great! Thanks for the input! I'll run it with my set up for now!
Yep, but 24v to the stocker works too! Also flush out the old motor oil and run atf or tractor hydraulic fluid...Quote:

Lighter the oil, quicker the Trim, less resistance?
That's it!
Yep like nitro said. Very noticeable difference compared to 30weight. Mike.
Not just oil weight but check viscosity indexes at varying temps too.
One of the good things about aviation hydro fluid is it is designed not to have as much variation in viscosity index with temp changes as traditional "tractor" hydro fluid.
Less variation means more consistent trim timing
Good point !
