"Finally get to look more clos
"Finally get to look more closely at the trim/tilt motor assembly, it appears that the stator winding insulation is breaking down, other than that, the brushes look fine. It was a bitch to even get the assembly apart due to the wiring being so tight in the top end of the motor housing! Should I replace the whole assembly, including the reorvoir and pump? Or just the motor itself? Also is it normal to be able to remove the armature and attached shaft from the from pump end of the assembly? How do I know if it's engaged with the drive joint located in the pump valve body? Found a place that handles the PTT unit , API Marine, not sure about the quality though,it is an aftermarket replacement. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. thanks, nick"
