Caltric Tilt Trim Motor for Mercury/Mariner/Force 50-150 HP (1992–2006) — 12V 2-Wire with 42" Harness

Caltric's 12V power tilt trim motor replaces Mercury 809885A1-style units to restore tilt and trim control on 40–150hp outboards from the 1990s and early 2000s.

If your Mercury, Mariner or Force outboard from roughly 1992–2006 is losing trim response or the ram won't hold position, this Caltric tilt trim motor and reservoir assembly is built to be a direct-fit electrical replacement for many OEM part numbers. It’s a two-wire motor designed for single- and two-ram systems, supplied with a 42" wiring harness with bullet connectors, mounting bolts and an O-ring so you can install without hunting down extra parts.

Which engines and years will this motor work with?

This motor covers a broad set of Mercury, Mariner and Force models across small to mid-range horsepower bands from the 1990s through the mid-2000s. Compatibility includes many common engine sizes used on fishing and family boats during that period.

• Fits Force: 40–125 Hp (1992–2006); 50–125 Hp configurations and 1–2 ram systems.
• Fits Mercury/Mariner: 40–125 Hp and select 50–150 Hp models, including 40–150hp ranges listed by year.
• Covers popular specific engines: 50, 55, 60, 70, 75, 90, 100, 115, 120, 125 and 150hp in specified year ranges.
• Works with 1-ram and 2-ram tilt/trim installations where the OEM used these part families.

What electrical and mounting specs should I expect?

The Caltric motor runs on standard 12 volts and mounts using four bolt holes for a secure fit. It includes a pre-attached wiring harness to simplify connection and is designed with two main power wires for streamlined installation.

• 12V electrical design compatible with typical outboard tilt trim systems.
• Four mounting holes for sturdy attachment to the trim assembly plate.
• Includes 42" wiring harness with bullet connector ends for direct hookup.
• Supplied bolts and an O-ring so the unit is ready to install right away.

Which OEM part numbers does this replace and why check fitment?

Caltric built this motor to replace many OEM tilt/trim numbers so it’s useful when the original motor is obsolete or worn. Even with broad cross-references, always verify engine year and ram configuration because trim systems changed across model years.

• Cross-references include Mercury: 809885A1, 809885A2, 809885T2 and others in the same family.
• Also listed against Lester numbers such as 10827 and 10850 for compatibility verification.
• Inspect your original part and photos before ordering to confirm bolt pattern and wiring style.
• Check whether your boat uses a 1-ram or 2-ram system to ensure proper fit.

Who is this for? If you own a boat with a Mercury, Mariner or Force outboard from the 1990s to mid-2000s that shows sluggish or failed trim movement, this Caltric tilt trim motor offers an affordable replacement option. It’s aimed at DIY boat owners and marine technicians needing a complete motor-and-reservoir assembly with wiring and mounting hardware. Always compare your existing motor’s shape, bolt pattern and wiring to the photos and specifications before purchase to avoid returns.
