First off thanks so much for this forum. I learned so much in only a few minutes about the problem I am having with my tabs.
My HPU has developed a leak in the rear of the unit. Based on the threads here it looks like the pump seal has given out. Given this might be original equipment on my 1997 boat that is pretty good life. Also from the threads I see that this is not really a user replacement type ordeal so I am looking at just purchasing a new HPU.
So my question is this. Will my 1997 HPU fit in the existing bracket mounted there. Does this unit just slide in or do I need to remove the bracket, then the unit? Or just un-tighten some screws and slide it out.
Also should I order new nuts for the fluid lines or can the original nuts be re-used. They don't seem to have any issues... Of course fro $5 for the nuts I may just play it safe.
Only want to jam myself back there in the transom behind the muffler once!
Thanks!!
