    Winterization difficulty

    agree with above trying to swap a motor with the drive in is 5x as difficult than doing it with the drive off since you have to have the drive off to align the motor. just drain the gear lube and pull the drive off the boat.

    Replacement Trim Hydraulic Pump for OMC Sterndrive

    just google oildyne 108 hydraulic pump. you need 1200 psi on the lower and 2900 psi on the upper. I used a few of the DB electrical pump for testing at work and they appear to be nearly identical to the Parker Oildyne, however 1/4th the cost.

    18ft aluminum boat v hull

    handles look like old alumacraft. transom has been modified (cut down) can always use the CFR calculation to determine the maximum hp for a 18' tiller steer boat. just need the transom width. transom looks to be about 4.5 feet wide and under 20", so ~ 35hp
