2fastlx Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Im posting this just as an FYI incase someone else has this problem. My BMS jackplate motor finally took a crap after 17 years of service (boat is an '01). I did some looking around on the web and I found the motor from BMS for 160 bucks. Most other places only sold the whole motor/pump/reservoir assembly which was a few hundred. I knew the pump was simply a mercury/mercruiser trim unit, and after some browsing I found a replacement for 60 bucks with free shipping from DB Electrical. https://www.dbelectrical.com/products/power-tilt-trim-motor-mercury-17649a1-87828-6218.html#replacement-list Bobs uses some big stainless flat head screws to mount the pump assembly to their aluminum mounting bracket, so of course those were seized in place and I used an impact screwdriver to break them free. I then had to dremel off the two 5mm screws that attach the motor to the pump. The motor is an exact replacement and for now I am back up and running and saved 100 bucks or so.
