Trim Pump Pig-Tail ?

[ken_23434]

I have a 1988 Wellcraft with a 3.0 Mercruiser, Alpha 1.

The boat was gotten as a project. When I got it, there was no Trim Pump and the wires were cut where the trim pump should have been.

I have a newer style Mercruiser Trim pump with the plastic resevoir and have "temporarily" wired it up to my tilt/trim switches. I used the crimp on style "spade" connectors to plug into the female connector that is on the trim pump.

This works, but I would rather have the male (boat end) connector and have it connect to look OEM. I have done many searches, and cannot find replacement pigtails for marine applications. I found 1 or 2 places that sell pigtails for the engine connections, but not for the trim pump.

This trim pump has a round 3 wire connection. I don't know if that is standard for most brands and years or if that connection varried by brand and year.

Thanks for the help

Re: Trim Pump Pig-Tail ?

Kind of solved the issue myself already.

There is a "boat junk yard" about 45 minutes away. I was let go early from work today, so I took a detour on the way home. They cut what I needed from one of the boat harnesses. The guy said that connector is part of the boat harness.

I still think that parts like that should be available as a repair part for people that might need them.
