Changing trim pump tank question
 
1 Attachment(s)
I need to replace the tank for my power trim pump. Can this be as simple as removing and replacing just the tank itself? Do I need to remove the hydraulic lines etc. or can it be done just by unbolting the current tank and installing a new one? I haven't messed with this before and I'm wondering how big a job it will be. Thanks for any advice...

It's as easy as unbolting the unit from the floor, and unbolting the tank and replacing it with a new one. The older models have a bolt in the bottom, the new ones just have the four screws holding the tank to the pump on the top side.

If you want a nice billet one, let me know.

Cool, I was hoping it would be that simple, thanks! :cool-smiley-027:

you might want to suck the power trim fluid out of the tank before you take the bolt loose from the bottom of the tank or you will make a big mess:)
