Product notes

Tilt Trim Motor Replacement for API Marine: PT653NM J & N 430-22123

Tilt Trim Motor Replacement for API Marine: PT653NM J & N 430-22123; 430-22123

This motor-level option suits a repair that stops at the tilt/trim motor rather than the entire assembly. It is listed as new, rated for 12V, and carries part numbers 430-22123 and TRM0095 alongside an interchange list that begins with 38100-92J02 and 38100-92J03. The Taiwan source is stated in the listing.

Before choosing, match your existing part number against that interchange list. The California Proposition 65 notice is also part of the listing, so make sure that warning is acceptable for your situation.

Power Trim Tilt Assembly 8M0055011 830250T3 Replacement for Mercury Mariner 35HP

Power Trim Tilt Assembly 8M0055011 830250T3 Replacement for Mercury Mariner 35HP

The complete power trim/tilt assembly is the broadest replacement option in this group. It is listed as new, carries 830250T3 and 8M0055011 part numbers, and is described for Mercury Mariner 35HP, 40HP, 50HP, and 60HP outboards. The package is substantial at 11.6 lb and roughly 15 x 7.7 x 5.5 inches.

Because this is an assembly-level part, the important step is to match your outboard's original part number to the references shown before ordering. If your repair only involves the trim motor, this unit would be more than you need.

Rule Bilge Pump Strainer Base Lot 275 278 Red Blue Marine Replacement Parts

Rule Bilge Pump Strainer Base Lot 275 278 Red Blue Marine Replacement Parts

The two-piece Rule strainer-base lot covers the 275 and 278 replacement numbers and gives you red and blue bases for round Rule bilge pumps. That makes it a convenient spare-parts option if you already run Rule pumps and want bases on hand.

The listing makes clear that the pumps themselves are not included, and the bases show normal scratches and scuffs from previous use and storage. Review the photos and mounting points to confirm they fit your particular pump.

Teleflex Type 400 20Ft Shift Control Cable Part# CC17020 Outboard Motor Parts

Teleflex Type 400 20Ft Shift Control Cable Part# CC17020 Outboard Motor Parts

This Teleflex cable is the right part to consider when the failure is in the control cable rather than the trim system. It is a 20-foot Type 400 cable, part number CC17020, intended for outboard motor controls and carrying a Johnson Evinrude control-cable reference.

The caveat is in the condition: it is listed as new old stock and not in the original box. Check that the cable type and length match your control layout, since a 20-foot cable is a specific fit.
