Restore smooth, reliable power trim and tilt performance to your Volvo Penta SX sterndrive with this high-quality new tilt trim motor and tank assembly. Specially designed for Volvo SX Marine models from 2001 and newer, this complete replacement unit includes both the electric trim motor and the hydraulic fluid reservoir (tank), giving you everything needed for a fast and effective repair.

Why Your Volvo SX Needs a Reliable Tilt Trim Motor

The power tilt and trim system on your Volvo Penta SX drive is essential for optimal boat performance. Properly trimmed, your engine lifts the bow for reduced drag, improved fuel economy, better acceleration, and a smoother, drier ride. When the tilt trim motor or reservoir fails, you lose the ability to raise or lower the drive efficiently, leading to poor handling, increased fuel consumption, difficulty launching or loading the boat, and potential damage to the sterndrive unit.

Common symptoms of a failing Volvo SX tilt trim motor include:

• Slow or unresponsive trim operation
• Complete loss of up or down function
• Unusual grinding or whining noises
• Hydraulic fluid leaks around the reservoir or motor
• Trim cylinders that drift down under load

If you’re experiencing any of these issues on your 2001 or newer Volvo Penta SX-equipped boat, replacing the entire tilt trim motor and tank is often the most reliable and long-lasting solution.

Benefits of a Properly Functioning Trim System

• Improved Fuel Efficiency — Correct trim reduces hull drag and can improve MPG by 10–20% or more.
• Better Handling & Stability — Raise the drive for high-speed cruising or lower it for better low-speed control and hole-shot performance.
• Reduced Wear — Proper trim minimizes stress on the engine, propeller, and transom.
• Enhanced Safety — Quick trim adjustments help you navigate shallow water, waves, or changing conditions.
• Longer Component Life — Replacing a failing motor and tank early prevents damage to more expensive trim cylinders and hydraulic lines.
