I know a couple of you guys are using Volvo 280T's. What trim pump are you using with it?

mine had an old merc pump I found a guy parting out a bayliner with a brand new VP pump spent $175

That's what I'm using in the Nova 19 but ..... I need another for another project and cant seem to find one that will work even tough they say they do when they sell them to me. Five times now. Just looking for options.

I'm using a standard merc pump from an Alpha drive set up.

The one I'm using is a new style alpha trim pump I think.

Thanks folks. Picked up a new style one but it's a 2 wire and not the 3 that I am used to. Got to figure out how to wire it now.

blue and green?

blue (sky ) = up

green (grass) = down

it has been a while but I think there is a ground there somewhere Black isn't there

That's the issue. From what I read it says the green and blue wire as both grounds and positive. When the green is hot the blue is Neg and vice versa ..... Still looking on how to make a 3 wire a 2 wire.

a dc motor will reverse if the polarity changes so with +12 vdc it runs one way with -12vdc it runs the other way the OB pumps I have seen are two wire usually the case is grounded and 12 volts is sent to the green or blue wire.
