Question about tilt/trim on 40 hp

[aburke120]

Went to look at a boat today, 86 sea nymph sc160 has a 86 40hp Johnson on it, and had this pump, i'm guessing, sticking up beside the motor, never seen one before, can someone explain. Thanks.

Can you shoot some more pics at different angles ??

 

[aburke120]

Thats the only pic i have, boat is at an auction where i looked at it

Very interesting. That's a tilt/trim cobbled up that doesn't belong on that motor. It's for a 1974-ish V-4.

Nope---That unit came on the 2 cylinder motor.-----Pump and motor have been mounted to get them away from water !

found this today on the web, ad from someone in Fla. selling boat parts.

Well I'll be hornswaggled and corrected, you are right. I've never seen one of those.

 

[racerone]

And why do you say it is " NOT THE SAME ".--------The motor / pump is normally mounted on the bracket.----But it can be mounted higher or even inside the boat to get the motor away from water.

 

[aburke120]

If you're asking me, it's because I didn't know what it was.

 

[racerone]

You learned something today I suppose.

 

[aburke120]

I will stop with the questions about this motor, I bought a 90 sea nymph fish and ski with a 75merc 850 that doesn't work, floor has some soft spots, but the price was right, now it's mine.
