drive trim pump question, water in oil

[fund razor]

I doubt it got the creamy by condensation or your cleaning the bilge. I suspect it has been that way a while.

That is what I was thinking. The consistency was too even. Like blended.

Jim, can you tell if that's the correct manual?

Comparing the manual to the actual unit seems to check out.

Pump of concern is on the left, the right is his taller brother.

Too bad Autozone doesn't sell Bravo 1 manuals.

You must have missed my thread on all these Merc manuals

I have that bookmarked, but did not see the trim-pump for a Bravo listed there. Did I miss it?

No. The link you provided is just a part of manual #11 (Section 5). The entire manual #11 covers all Bravo's 1988-1998; drives, pumps, steering and all

Thanks again you guys.
The info that was shared with me yesterday was very helpful.

I had a hose once that the stainless bend before the flarenut connection at the ram split. res got milky and I didn't find it til the hose started leaking a couple weeks later. Just a thought to check the hoses and fittings real good.

Ok, an update:

I got a chance to pull the resevoirs off of the pumps and found that in boths cases, the filters had disintegrated and become part of a light colored goo at the bottom of the res.

In one case.... the filter is half gone. WTF?? can you buy the filter as a separate part number? About the size of a nickel.

Also... aren't there supposed to be filters on both sides? The pdf that Paul provided shows two filters.

Thanks.

help?

help?

I saw the question and did not know the answer. I read the manual and looked at the pics. Seems to go both ways, confusing.

PM Jim and Chris both to let them know you're looking for the answer.

See anything here that might assist?

Thanks Paul and Jim.

I appreciate it. Especially the part number, Jim.

I will google that part number and see if I can find a source.

Wow, were those sterndrives.com prices kind of high or what?

Just curious, Jim.... have you seen many of these filters break down and become suspended in the oil?

One of the things that caught my eye, you said your two pumps were slightly different, and the two pumps listed and explained were slightly different in looks, but completely different in how they worked.

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

I have seen them smashed, torn and off before.

Did you ever figure out where the water came from?
