It arrived. The new tilt/trim motor from Arco Marine that is. It arrived packaged well for shipping, and completely intact. Upon opening the box, it became quite clear that Arco products have quite a nice clean new, and "not cheap" appearance. I then spent some time boning up on removal procedure in the Mercury Marine manual, and went to work.
The old unit was a cinch to remove, but it needed some flushing out since a little water had contaminated the unit. With that done, I then fastened the new motor to the trim pump/ram assembly with the provided SS allen bolts and o-ring, and filled the unit up. It works like new now.
Unfortunately, I don't have pictures. It was a messy job, and no place for a digital camera. Maybe I will get Darla to take some finished results pics tomorrow after we get the boat home from Buzz's marine.
T-11:20 and counting.
