Deciding which marine replacement part to buy comes down to matching the exact part to the boat---or, in one case here, to a Tonka truck. The four parts in this roundup span a wide listed-price range, from $20.00 for a lot of two Rule bilge pump strainer bases to $467.10 for a power trim tilt assembly. None of these parts are interchangeable, so the right choice depends on what you're repairing and which fitment details line up.
Quick Take
- The Total Power Parts TRM0095 tilt & trim motor is listed at $129.37 and includes interchange numbers such as 38100-92J02 and 430-22123.
- The Tonka Marine Transport Truck Boat & Motor Replacement Parts Set TKP-104-4 sells for $125.00 and includes four rowboats and two outboard motors.
- The Power Trim Tilt Assembly 8M0055011 / 830250T3 is the highest-priced part at $467.10 and is listed for Mercury Mariner outboards.
- The Rule Bilge Pump Strainer Base Lot 275 278 is the lowest-priced part at $20.00 and includes two strainer bases.

Product Notes
Tilt Trim Motor Replacement for API Marine: PT653NM J & N 430-22123; 430-22123
This Tilt Trim Motor is listed as new and carries the Total Power Parts brand. It's a 12V tilt & trim motor with manufacturer part number 430-22123 and model TRM0095. One of its standout features is the set of interchange numbers, including 38100-92J02, 38100-92J03, and 430-22123, which gives you multiple ways to cross-reference your old unit. The unit is described as a replacement for API Marine part PT653NM J & N. Because the fit depends on those interchange numbers, you'll want to check that your existing motor matches one of them. If it does, this is the only tilt & trim motor in this lineup, priced in the middle of the range.
Tonka Marine Transport Truck Boat & Motor Replacement Parts Set TKP-104-4
This set is made for Tonka Marine Transport truck owners who need replacement boats and motors. The set includes four injection-molded plastic rowboats: two white and two red. It also comes with a pair of outboard motors. The listing describes it as the full set that would go with the Tonka Marine Transport semi truck and trailer, so if your truck is missing any of these pieces, this is the direct replacement. The description notes that some items may require adjustment or slight fitting, which is normal for toy parts. Keep in mind that this is a toy replacement set, not a full-size boat part, so it belongs in the marine toy restoration category rather than a functional boat repair.
Power Trim Tilt Assembly 8M0055011 830250T3 Replacement for Mercury Mariner 35HP
This Power Trim Tilt Assembly is the most expensive part in this comparison. The title lists it as a replacement for Mercury Mariner 35HP outboards, and the fitment coverage extends to 40HP, 50HP, and 60HP models with the 1C453840 & Up serial range. It's listed as new and has dimensions of 15 x 7.7 x 5.5 inches, weighing 11.6 pounds. If you're replacing the whole power trim tilt unit, this is the only complete assembly in the group. The catch is that compatibility depends on the specific Mercury or Mariner model and serial number, so you need to confirm that your outboard falls within the listed fit range before committing to this price.
Rule Bilge Pump Strainer Base Lot 275 278 Red Blue Marine Replacement Parts
This lot of two Rule bilge pump strainer bases gives you a red 278 base and a blue 275 base, as noted in the title. These are designed for round Rule bilge pumps and help prevent debris from entering the pump. The condition is listed as "new other," and the listing stresses that these are strainer bases only---no bilge pumps are included. That makes this a good choice if you already have a compatible Rule pump and just need to replace the base. Since you get two bases, one can serve as a spare. This is the lowest-priced item in the roundup, but it's a niche part, so it only makes sense for owners of round Rule pumps.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
If you need a tilt & trim motor for a 12V boat hydraulic system and can match one of the listed interchange numbers, the Total Power Parts TRM0095 is the part to consider. If you need a complete power trim tilt assembly for a Mercury or Mariner outboard, the 8M0055011 / 830250T3 assembly is the one that fits that need, but verify your exact model and serial range. If you already own a round Rule bilge pump, the two-piece Rule strainer base lot is the lowest-priced pick and includes a spare. And for anyone restoring a Tonka Marine Transport truck, the TKP-104-4 set supplies the missing rowboats and outboard motors.
