Are the Trim Tab complete motor/hyd's assy. and the Outdrive motor/hyd's trim motor assy. interchangeable ?

Meaning, can you use a Mercruiser outdrive trim motor complete set-up for K planes appl.?

2001 Mercruiser motor/hyd. assy for K-planes.





Thank you for your replies !

These pumps for K planes ?

I have the same question.. kinda, everythign I have seen tells me you can use them on either.

on a outdrive green wire is up...on tabs green wire is down...

I'm using them for my tabs. Open 72 is right, you have to reverse them, I just ran the hydraulic lines up to the down port on the tab. The only difference is that the drive pump runs the tabs REAL fast- I only bump the tab rocker switch lightly to get all the movement I want, takes a little different technique.

Correct.. But be careful on some of the newer stuff. There are some pumps that are high psi & some that are low psi hi volume. They will both move the plane but they would move at different speeds depending on the pump.

Trim Tab Pumps run higher pressure

Movin, blue is up (high pressure side) on a drive. I aways remember it by blue sky green grass

you can vary the speed a bit by changing the viscosity of the hydraulic fluid - jeff

yes you can use the outdrive pumps for the k-planes changed mine last summer with no problems they are faster but imop they work better
