Good Place To Buy Trim Motor

Well this past weekend I started cleaning up the V to sell her (I'll post it here too). I knew the trim motor had a little rust but when I gave it a better inspection the back of the motor was in really bad shape and I'm surprised that it even worked at all. So I'm looking for a tilt and trim motor for a 1994 Johnson 150. The one I have works but I don't like selling something in that kind of shape.
 
It's most likely a FASTRAK pump arrangement on that one. Those pumps are a bit pricey unfortunately. Average price is around $200 for one(aftermarket or OEM), and I doubt you'll get a penny more for it so long as the one you have now is working. Post up a pic of it to make sure which one you have.

This one is about the cheapest you will find.

And here's another aftermarket.

I have a brand new one in the shop that was a $200 ARCO I could sell for $150 if you wanted.
 
Thanks for the info. My dad might buy my boat and if he decides he wants it I'll buy yours. If he does not want the boat I'm going with the cheapest price I can find.

Understandeable. I spent the extra money for an ARCO for mine to change mine out when it rusts through. Won't need the motor anymore as I will most likely be getting rid of her soon anyways(I have 2 foot i-tis REAL bad).

I had 2 foot i-tis REAL bad myself and it turn out to be 4 foot i-tis as I just purchased a 24 proline last week. I started a thread with a link to what I purchased but it now bad as he must have pulled the ad.
 
how hard are these pumps to replace? or what has to be taken apart to change it? looking to change mine soon..thanks
 
I like that Dusky Ferm. Did you pull the trigger on her yet? Is there a small cuddy in the bow beneath the casting deck?

fast track trim should be two pins and out she goes. you need to get the engine all the way up on its highest suppet arm/bracket before removal. since trim motor is out use the manual release valve.
 
Yep, you pretty well have to remove the trim assembly to replace it. You can do three of the bolts with it on the boat, but the last one is buried. Or you can remove the engine from the boat if your trim pins are frozen in place and do it that way. If you have the older style they require 6 bolts and a pin to get out, plus you have to remove 2 of the engine mounting bolts and remove one of the transom plates in most cases to get it out. Although if the bolts aren't rusted out completely you can normally snake your way into to remove the trim pump bolts.
 
Well my dad decided not to buy the V so I guess I'm going to buy the cheap one unless THEFERMANATOR wants to make me a better deal on the one he has. On mine all I had to do was to raise the motor to it highest position (then you need to support it with something that won't allow it to fall) then remover the pin holding on the main lift cyl. then I lowered that cyl. down to give me some room. That allowed me enough room to swing out the top of the whole assembly enough to get to the back left bolt. I'll install the new motor raise it back up and popped the pin back in. I guess if the pump does not work at all then its a little harder.
