Your call but if it was me i wouldn't replace anything until i went thru the troubleshoot procedure.

the switch sticks in the up or down position. it doesn't "bounce" back like it should.

So I diagnosed the trim/tilt issue. It seems that the trim pump is not working. My uncle, a master electrician and shade tree mechanic, came over and even with the lift cylinder unhooked we could not get any of the hydraulic fluid out. All the electrical is good and is testing the way it should. What's a good place to get a new unit?

You have a Alpha or a Bravo Drive?
Looks like either way , part # is 865380A13.
Merc price is around 700.00. OUCH!
Look on Ebay.
Might try part # 14336A8
Or get a used one.

Alpha one gen ii. I found one for like $300 but I didn't have part # on me to verify

Looks like its not the right one. I will have to do some research. The one I found for like $700 is saying I have to buy adapters for the hydraulic lines because the one I'm replacing is a 1996.

Where are you located? A good auto electric place should be able to rebuild those motors....my neighbor had his rebuilt like new for just a shade over $100
