Hi folks,
I have an old EldoCraft boat with a 1975 Johnson 85 HP motor and power trim. Power trim is not working and I cannot find another that even closely resembles what I have. Hoping someone here can help. All help appreciated.

When you say trim does not work does that mean the tilt does work? Looks as if it may need tnt fluid. Discribe not working.
 
That a old Calco unit...… have to send reservoir off to have new motor fitted. Typical rotten wiring and leaks. Hope the pump is good.

Thanks for the reply. I knew someone would be able to identify this thing. Is there any way to check the pump before dropping the cash on a new motor?

Might just be a simple broken wire or switch issue.---And I would be mounting that pump and motor INSIDE the boat.
 
Nope,this is how it goes .New motor leads to New pump leads to cylinder reseal leads to replace trim cylinder..suggest CMC tnt
 
Water sneaks into the motor, just because water does things like that.-----Rusts the top bearing / bushing area.-----That is why I would mount that motor INSIDE the boat !
 
Thanks again to everyone for your help identifying my trim motor and how to proceed for repair. Project has been put on back burner due to developments with Corona virus. As a follow up I have a question concerning the switch. The appears the up function is not working. Can anyone tell me where I might find a similar switch or what to substitute? Here is the switch.

And as always, thanks for your help.
