Installed new trim pump/resevoir, just fill it and go?

[liquidlew]

Just had to replace my trim pump, got the whole thing new, pump, motor, and resevoir. Question is, do I just fill it and run it, or do I need to do anything special, any priming involved? This one has no bleed screw, so it bleeds itself running it up and down numerous times right?

Yup!


It will get a little foamy though.....just make up the difference by checking it frequently as the bubbles clear out!

How difficult was the install on this? Also, where'd you get it and how much$?

Cool, thanks for the info!

As for putting it in, it's a piece of cake, but if you've never done it, I would strongly suggest you have or download the manual, and it's super helpful showing how to troubleshoot the system. I had to replace the solenoids last year, and the manual led me right to the problem. This year the pump went, so I found the motor, pump, and resevoir on ebay. I got lucky and got a new OEM unit for $199 w/free shipping. Don't know if you need the whole unit, bracket and solenoids (there are alot of them on the bay too), but here's an aftermarket pump for a good price...
