How much do you think
 

I just replaced my trim motor on a 1988 150 mercury
I was told there are two pumps. One cheap and one expensive. Guess what one I have.
The expensive one. How much would you say I should pay for every thing. Labor and part installed. It's the trim motor and labor to install it
Let's see who gets the closest. I think I'm getting ripped off. I will post the amount Monday or Tuesday cause I'm going to pick up my baby( boat ) Monday.

oem part 330.00 labor200.00

B.o.a.t.

Including the reservoir....On the high side $300 for the motor Low side $150 Plus $100 an hour for the installation. So I'll say $500 total. :cen:

so far i think B.O.A.T, is closer i will let you know when i pick her up soon maybe tomorrow

OMG!!!!!! :oh::oh::oh:


Look on eBay. You can buy brand new units for less than $400, and the installation is fairly easy... an hour tops.

822.00 final bill 150 for labor 613 for the motor. Plus fluid. B.o.a.t.

not bad on the labor, it could have been a lot worse. I looked up the part and Mercury doesn't sell the trim motor by itself, it list a trim kit for $1171.00:oh: for the design 1 and $644 for the design 2. Arco(good aftermarket) retails for $612. There's decent mark up on that pump. The dealer didn't screw you, Mercury did by having that trim motor so high, everyone else bases their parts off of OEM

Spare parts the motor was exactly what you said. Still a lot of money. Labor w as good. I always bring my mercury to the same marina and never had a issue with the price for labor it's the parts that are killing me.

yes it is a lot of money, I haven't done one of those in quite a while, I didn't realize the trim motors had gotten so high on them. FWIW, Yamaha has a couple $700+ trim motors as well. Misery loves company
