83 page read, being a single dad with an 18 month old daughter it took me about 4 days to accomplish lol. But that said thanks for all the documentation and details. Your thread definitely helps reinforce my ideas about bracing the haul on this old thin walled tub I’m starting on. As well as...
Is there anyway to test the pump itself? Can I jump power directly from the battery to one of the leads on the pump itself would that make it move if it still works? I don’t want to burn it up if that’s not how to test it. Sorry I’m a little lacking in my electrical knowledge.
The pump number is 92975a24, end of last last summer the trim would go up but not down. So I bled the lines and just hand trimmed it for the last couple outings. This spring I chased the power with a multimeter from the button in the throttle back to the pump everything was ringing out accept...

I’ll post pics tonight when I have some time to take a few. I’ll move it now. Any reason your saying put the 70 on besides I know it runs? I’m kinda partial to Mercs which make me wanna dump a couple hundred into the wiring first to see if I can get it going. I know it could be a waste of money...
