The best match in this list for a buyer seeking an SAE J1171 marine trim pump is the 12-volt reversible pump and reservoir assembly listed as meeting or exceeding OEM specifications. Other options include complete assemblies for specific applications and a replacement trim motor. Check your current assembly’s part number, wiring, rotation, and application before ordering; the supplied product details do not establish SAE J1171 compliance for every item below.

12V Reversible Pump And Reservoir Assembly

This assembly is the closest match for shoppers searching specifically for a marine trim pump described as SAE J1171. Its listing identifies a 12-volt DC system, reversible rotation, female spade terminals, and a pump-and-reservoir design. It is listed as a replacement for part 8M6007544 and Power Pole Pro-F 4-6819 applications.
Best for: Buyers replacing a matching Power Pole Pro assembly who need both pump and reservoir. The listing says it meets or exceeds OEM specifications and includes a one-year warranty.
Check before ordering: Confirm the 8M6007544 or 4-6819 reference and terminal arrangement against your existing unit. The listing’s application references are specific, so do not assume it fits other trim systems.
East Lake MerCruiser 12V Trim Assembly

The East Lake Marine Electric assembly is identified as a 12-volt, three-wire MerCruiser power trim and tilt motor with reservoir and pump. Its listed replacement references include 88183A12, 6275, and 18-6769.
Best for: Owners comparing replacement assemblies for a MerCruiser system who can verify a matching reference number and three-wire configuration. It was selected because the product name specifies the motor, reservoir, and pump rather than a motor alone.
Check before ordering: The supplied feature information does not provide detailed dimensions, rotation, or additional fitment guidance. Confirm those details with the seller or the part currently installed. SAE J1171 compliance is not stated in the supplied product details.
DB Electrical TRM0089 Power Pole Pump

DB Electrical’s TRM0089 is a 12-volt tilt and trim motor, pump, and reservoir assembly listed for Power Pole Sportsman applications. The specifications give reversible rotation and female spade terminals. Listed replacement references include Power Pole Pump SPN-F, Quicksilver 8M6007545, and EMP 4-6818.
Best for: Buyers with a Power Pole Sportsman system who need a complete pump-and-reservoir unit and can match one of the listed replacement numbers.
Check before ordering: This is an application-specific listing, not a general fit for all marine trim systems. The supplied details do not claim SAE J1171 compliance, so verify that requirement separately if it is essential.
DB Electrical TRM0079 Penta Assembly

The TRM0079 is a 12-volt marine tilt-and-trim replacement that includes a pump and reservoir. The listing identifies compatibility with Penta all models and provides dimensions: 3-inch outside diameter, 0.315-inch shaft diameter, and 5.906-inch length. Replacement references include Sierra Marine 18-6806 and Quicksilver 8M6007551.
Best for: Buyers whose existing Penta unit matches the listed references or dimensions. The stated measurements and cross-references make it easier to compare with a removed assembly.
Check before ordering: “Penta all models” is the listed application, but confirm the precise part number and physical fit for your boat. SAE J1171 compliance is not specified in the provided features.
Sierra 18-6772 MerCruiser Trim Motor

The Sierra 18-6772 is a replacement tilt/trim motor for MerCruiser Oildyne units. Its listed applications include late-style Alpha I, Gen II, and Bravo drives, as well as early-style square motors. The fit type is described as universal fit, but the application details should guide selection.
Best for: Owners replacing a motor in a matching MerCruiser Oildyne setup who do not need to purchase a complete pump-and-reservoir assembly.
Check before ordering: This listing is for a motor, not a complete pump and reservoir. Compare the drive style and existing motor before treating it as a full trim-pump replacement. SAE J1171 compliance is not stated in the supplied details.
Buying Guide
Do you need a motor or a complete pump assembly?
Identify which component has failed before choosing a replacement. A motor-only unit such as the Sierra 18-6772 is not equivalent to an assembly that includes a pump and reservoir. If the pump or reservoir also needs replacement, compare complete-unit listings and confirm what is included.
How can you check fitment?
Use the old unit’s part number as the starting point. Compare it with the listed cross-references, then check voltage, terminal style, rotation, physical dimensions, and application. Similar-looking trim parts may serve different systems, so do not rely on appearance alone.
What does SAE J1171 mean for this purchase?
SAE J1171 is a marine electrical equipment standard associated with ignition protection. The supplied product details explicitly use SAE J1171 in the generic pump listing’s title, but do not provide a separate compliance document. Ask the seller or manufacturer to confirm the exact standard and documentation when compliance is required for your installation.
Should you choose a reversible pump?
Reversible rotation is stated for the 12-volt Power Pole assemblies in this list. Match that specification to the original unit and the equipment’s requirements. Do not infer rotation or wiring details for products whose listings do not specify them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which listed option most directly matches an SAE J1171 trim pump search?
The 12-volt reversible pump and reservoir assembly is the closest match because its product title states SAE J1171. Confirm the applicable part number and compliance documentation before buying.
Are all five products complete pump assemblies?
No. The Sierra 18-6772 is identified as a tilt/trim motor. The other selected listings describe pump-and-reservoir assemblies or a motor, reservoir, and pump.
Can I use a Power Pole pump on a MerCruiser system?
Do not assume so. The Power Pole listings identify particular Power Pole applications. Match the product’s stated application and replacement number to your existing equipment.
What should I compare before ordering?
Compare the OEM or replacement part number, application, voltage, wiring terminals, rotation, dimensions, and included components. Confirm any required SAE J1171 documentation directly with the seller or manufacturer.
