trim motor trouble

[albass]

I need a new trim motor for my Johnson Fastrike 1991 model J150GLEIS I was told it was part number 5005374 now the problem is I can get an oem 1 for 126 plus shipping or I can get 1 for an OMC for 89 free shipping both are new and have a 1 yr warranty can I go with the cheaper one and be happy or does it have to be oem

Re: trim motor trouble

OMC has not been around for 10 years, so the part would have to be old stock and not under BRP part # 5005374. Most national aftermarket brands are over 150. for your model.

Where are you finding the part and who is the manufacturer for $89.

iboats has Arco, Sierra and Mallory aftermarket: http://www.iboats.com/mall/partfind...d_poid=112048&gd_row=103&**********=833196616

Re: trim motor trouble

I've used BRP and Arco with good results. The BRP part on Ebay for 126 looks like a good deal if the dealer has a good reputation.

Sorry, but I don't see a manufacturer on the $89. part. Maybe someone else knows their history.
