top banana trim taps
 

anyone know how the trim tab system is working i see on both sides 2 electric engines behind the gasoline thanks,not easy to reach on both sides is a + and - cable coming out.
dont see any hydraulic oil reservoir.

on both side in the engine room is a electric plug (attachment 2107) ?

start step by step ti try to understand what is what.

thanks in advance !

those are the hydraulic trim pumps for the trim tabs and drives, the 9 pin plug in your hand is the engine electrical harness that plugged into the engine for your dash wiring . the oil reservoir is under the pump motor the square bottom.

The same pumps I used for my trim tabs (the 24 is an inboard). Just simple Mercruiser trim pumps. Easy and cheap. Should be a flat blade screw in the corner of the square lower half to fill with motor oil or transmission fluid depending on what they used.

Love that boat any pics of the engine room

Really hard to get a picture of the engine room being the whole boat (motor in front of the cockpit and behind it) is an engine room.

yes i thought so i will not put 454,s in it any more so i have to do some new wiring,i do restorations on classic cars never did a boat before so many thanks for you help.
just finished this one,i hope they dont kick me out from the forum for posting a car!

thanks,i hope my engine room will look as clean as yours after,i have the same color already so that is a start.

Good for you! Many of us here do precisely what you do, cars for a living, boats for a hobby. Good luck with your project, it's a big one.

thanks mario !

Jef if you are going to restore it to the original livery, the engine room and the bootstripe were bright yellow.

When I was sponsored by RUMS OF PUERTO RICO, the boat had a multi shade blue boot stripe and the engine room was covered in blue, which is still on it now. Just in case you had any doubt.

The actual tabs them selves were made for me by my friend, Mel Riggs and have his initials on them. He used just standard hydraulics from Mercury.
