150 HP Mercury Black Max Tilt/Trim Motor replacement

[Nittany SeaLion]

I was hoping to get some help with a problem. I have a 1985 Mercury 150hp Black Max engine (serial #6443205) and the Tilt/Trim Motor finally died on me this past winter after years of having issues.<br /><br />I want to replace the motor, but I cannot locate a serial number on my exisitng model and I'm not sure which model I need to order.<br /><br />My current tilt/trim motor has three wires coming out of it (blue, green and black) and the motor has a squarish shape to it. Other then that, it has no distinguishing numbers or features to it. I think that's because the previous owner at one time sanded it down and repainted it a couple of times.<br /><br />So any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to iboats. <br /><br />An automotive alternator/starter rebuilder might be able to tackle it. Check your Yellow Pages or ask at an Auto Parts store that does machining. Arco makes a replacement pump that fits right in. Iboats sells them. Look here or more likely here

Your trim pump assembly is Merc Part number 826729A08 <br /><br />What your going to find is that the motor is obsolete and you must buy a new pump and motor assembly. Merc has them for a $1K or so but I'g go with an aftermarket kit that will set you back much less.
