One bolt = $90

After getting the idle issue sorted out the power tilt/trim motor decided to take a crap. Needles to say nothing is ever easy when working on a saltwater boat.
While removing the 2 long bolts that secure the motor and pump to the manifold 1 of the bolts was corroded in the pump and broke of in the pump and manifold. I was able to drill the bolt out of the manifold and tap it for a new bolt but the old bolt wasn't coming out of the pump.

So $90 later I have a good used pump and o-ring kit coming. I'm just glad that I didn't have to change the entire manifold.

Not much to look at right now. It's a 69 X66 numbers matching car. 396, 4 speed, fathom green. I also have a 62 nova that is in line after the camaro.
