I just purchased a power trim pump on ebay. The pump is new but noticed that the hyd. connections on the pump are quick connect ( 1 male,1 female) and my lines are screw on type. I am supposing this is "new style" pump. Anyone else come across this and how do you use the old type hoses on the new pump?
Thanks

do the fitting come out of the new pump?

Just unscrew em and fit your old fittings!

Upon further inspection also found new style has a different elect plug. After a few phone calls to "boat dealers" realizied that most are like auto zone and such. Can't tell you a whole lot if you got custom stuff, only can look up what came on your boat years ago.
So what I found was that just swap old fittings out with the new, no problem. Then found electrical connector has been updated. No problem, found a "good shop" that just happened to have a adapter that goes between the old round style on your harness to the new style ob-long plug on pump. No refitting old plug or rewiring. $12.00
Thanks for the input and hope this helps anyone else that will eventually cross this bridge.
