Volvo Penta trim motor cost

[FredFantastic]

Any help for a boat newbie appreciated. I've got a Larson with a 2007 Penta 4.3 that recently had the infamous white-plastic-plug trim pump cover leak that has been much discussed on this site.The dealer replaced the cover with the updated replacement cover, but even after doing so they said the motor only lifts and descends slowly. So they think the trim motor is trash (maybe because it burned out when trying to push the drive without adequate hydraulic fluid?) and needs to be replaced too. The dealer told me that the trim motor retails for $1200. I was really surprised because you can find Penta trim motors list on Amazon and elsewhere for $150-200, and they seem to top out on the various retailer sites at $600 for a unit complete with the pump too. Plus, it's not like a small electric motor is anything that complicated to manufacture. I'm not sure if I am looking at the absolutely correct part numbers and so on, but I am having real trouble finding anything that looks like the right trim motor for anything close to $1200. That quote seems off by about $1000, but like I said I am new to boating.

I'd be really grateful if anyone on the forum could give me a realistic sense of what the relevant part might actually cost.

Hi Fred, welcome to Iboats! You may have been seeing trim pumps for the SX drives which are located in the engine compartment and much cheaper than the SX-A pumps which we have. From all I've ever seen, the actual pump cannot be purchased separately, and is only available as a complete pump assembly. That assembly tends to run about $900 from most retailers I've seen.

How slow does it go? How is the fluid level? Note that the fluid level should be checked with the drive in the complete down position. I would be very reluctant to pay $1200 for a new pump unless mine did not work at all.

What is the VP number on the pump and/or unit. VP is famous for changing numbers every 3 years, or so, to make folks think they have to go through a dealer ... ...

Just remember to change out the o-rings also

This is what you have/had. I have read that people have removed the plug and chased threads and used a brass plug to resolve the issue. Those plugs were just glued in
