When a marine part fails, the first decision is whether you need a complete assembly or just a component. This set of marine replacement parts runs from a full power trim/tilt unit to a 12V trim motor, a two-piece bilge pump strainer base set, and a model-specific Pro Boat replacement part. Prices span from $20.00 to $467.10, so your choice depends on the repair and how much of the system you're replacing.
Quick take
If you're working on a Mercury or Mariner outboard and need the whole tilt/trim unit, the Power Trim Tilt Assembly is the complete option. If you only need the motor, the Tilt Trim Motor carries a lower listed price. If you're servicing a Rule bilge pump, the strainer base lot covers the 275 and 278 bases. If you have a Pro Boat Retriever System Tug 30, the PRB281112 replacement part is the model-matched direction.

Decision matrix
- Choose the Power Trim Tilt Assembly if the repair calls for a full power trim/tilt unit for a 35HP, 40HP, 50HP, or 60HP Mercury/Mariner outboard.
- Choose the Tilt Trim Motor if you need a 12V trim motor and want to keep the rest of the existing trim unit.
- Choose the Rule strainer base lot if you're maintaining a Rule bilge pump and want replacement 275 and 278 bases.
- Choose the Pro Boat part if you're fixing a Retriever System Tug 30 and need the PRB281112 replacement part.
Product notes
Power Trim Tilt Assembly
This is the only full assembly in the comparison. It carries the part numbers 8M0055011 and 830250T3 and is positioned as a replacement for Mercury and Mariner outboards in the 35HP, 40HP, 50HP, and 60HP range. If your repair involves the entire trim/tilt mechanism, this is the part that matches that scope. The dimensions are 15 by 7.7 by 5.5 inches, and it weighs 11.6 lb. The trade-off is the price position: it sits at the top of the range, so it's the biggest investment in this group.
Tilt Trim Motor Replacement
If the trim unit is fine but the motor has failed, this Total Power Parts motor is the component-level option. It's intended as a replacement for API Marine PT653NM and J & N 430-22123, with part number 430-22123 and model TRM0095. The 12V motor also includes interchange numbers such as 38100-92J02, 38100-92J03, 5033838, 5033925, and 5034525, which helps when you're matching the new motor to the existing one. It is not a complete tilt/trim assembly, so the rest of the unit has to be serviceable. The price falls in the middle of this set.
Rule Bilge Pump Strainer Base Lot
This Rule set includes the 275 and 278 strainer bases shown in red and blue. It's meant for round Rule bilge pumps and can help keep debris from entering the pump. Having both bases makes it a handy maintenance purchase if you want a spare or maintain more than one pump. The limitation is that the bilge pumps themselves are not in the lot; the strainer bases are what you receive. It carries the lowest price in the group, so it's a low-cost maintenance add-on.
Pro Boat Retriever System Tug 30 Replacement Part
This replacement part is made specifically for the Pro Boat Retriever System Tug 30, with model number PRB281112 and UPC 605482673140. If the boat you're repairing is that model, the match is direct. It's in new condition and is rated for ages 17 and up, which fits the Pro Boat hobby audience. The limitation is scope: this is not a general-purpose marine replacement part, so it won't apply to a full-size outboard or bilge pump project. Its listed price lands below the Tilt Trim Motor and above the Rule strainer base lot.
