89' 85hp Force Tilt/Trim?

[durabostbay]

Hello all I am trying to help a friend who has this engine. His problem is where the lines hook to the tilt/trim motor/pump area, the actual holes where the lines are connected are stripped. Does anyone no of a fix for this short of replacing the the whole motor/pump or if whole replacement is required where can we find one? Thanks for any help!

I know one guy who was able to JB Weld the stripped hole, tapped it, threaded in the fitting, then put more JB Weld over the top. He's been running it that way for several months.
