tilt/ trim plastic reservoir

[mhavinfun]

It appears my tilt/ trim reservoir is leaking oil...can you replace just the reservoir?....instead of having to buy a whole new pump?

Yes you can there's one on Ebay at the moment

BTW- I know this is a year old, but FWIW:

Anyone who runs into this problem.......check the cap. I've seen 5 of these units ALL leak from the cap. I had the same problem, then while working on it, I had lifted it up and tipped it to the side and (drop, drip, drip) right out fo the cap. I think when you're bouncing around underway the oil leaks out of the cap just a little bit over a period of time.

They make some replacement caps which work great. I got this stainless steel number. Trying to find the link for it. I'll follow-up shortly.

Older ones crack around the bolt in the bottom. When you change it you get a different set of mounting bolts that take care of the cracking problem.
