So I have had a leak on the trim for a little while and really need to get it fixed.
Should I have it rebuilt or buy a new one? It was original to the boat an 88. And now it sitting under. A
06 175 optimax.
What are your guys thoughts?

If you can, please read your post and clarify. Your post reads like you have the same tilt/trim on your 175 Optimax that was on a 1988 engine previously. Not likely the case... can you confirm?

But is a rebuilt motor and the mid section is from a 135 serial #1B02663.
And it is a 3 wire system.

Im not so sure on the 3 wire question.
There are a total of 3 wires from the unit, there Is a double wire that goes to the motor and then one that runs to the ground and appears to be a ground.
I can post pictures after work to confirm

Probably a good idea to post a picture- that serial number would not have used a 3-wire system (though one would physically fit in there, if someone was putting together pieces and parts left over from various motors or something).

Ended up being a two wire system. The 3rd wire was a ground strap that just ran along the other two wires. I ended up finding a shop that rebuilds trim units. Got one out the door shipped for 360$ with a 2 year warranty!
Now just waiting for it to arrive in the mail
