    Trim speed and jack plate speed

    Just swapped out a factory mercury external trim pump for a Mercury racing trim pump. I saw no difference in speed. Yes, the battery is perfect. The only comparison i have is that my 1988 XP200 will go up and down 3 full times by the time my new mercury high performance trim pump goes from full down to full up once.

    Next I just installed a brand new Bobs Extreme II jack plate and matching external pump, Not too impressed with the lift and drop speed. Once again, my old 1988 Land and Sea jack plate will go full up and full down by the time the Bobs goes from bottom to top.

    Am I expecting too much for a high performance piece to outperform 29 year old stuff?

    These are the two pumps I had high hopes for.

    If I don't ask any questions, I'll never learn anything.
