[QUOTE="rellis1962, post: 161329, member: 2519"] Ok, I have the motor installed (1984 Mercury 50hp w/ tilt and trim). Motor installation went smooth. Hardest part was when my son I were lifting it onto the jack plate. She started right up after I switched the kill switch to the run position. :oops: She fires with just a bump of the key now and purrs like a kitten with a good pee stream. Next was installing the tilt/trim motor, lines and trim switch. I ordered a new 3 button trim switch as the old one looked pretty rugged. New switch has not arrived so I cleaned up the old one, figured out the wiring because the wires were cut to remove the switch and got it ready to plug to the hydraulic motor. I made a mounting plate for the trim motor/pump out of an old cutting board. I also cleaned up the trim motor/pump and spray on a coat of that bed liner that comes in a spray can. After everything was installed and the old switch temporarily hooked up until the new one arrives I gave it a try and it worked perfectly after I got all the air out of the lines. =D> Here are some pics after installation.
