Should this be tilting an 1150??? I'm asking because I just bought a 77 Sleekcraft with an 1150 and a 1400/1500 pump. The pump has a red warning sticker that says it's a high pressure pump. Use only with Merc 1400 or 1500. I haven't fired it up yet because everything need to be rewired. Someone else posted a few years ago that they were using this combo. I don't want to blow any seals or anything but I can't afford to buy a new unit or motor. :confused:

You might post a picture. The 1400 and 1500 motors for the most part were inine six motors, nearly identical to the 1150. Is it a OEM tim pump, with the 4 pressure hoses and two trim cylinders?

Yes it is an OEM pump, 4 hoses, 2 cylinders. I don't even know if it works yet. I will post some pics later today.
