Adding tilt and trim

[Rock]

after unloading in 6" of water yesterday, i was thinking about adding tilt trim to my 20hp evinrude. i looked at setups last night. looks like they'll run $400-$700.. are there any that you guys recommend, or any advice on the subject?

I purchase the CMC unit from Iboats, was a great investment for me, I had a Honda 25hp and it was so heavy that I did raise it up that often. Again, I considered it a great investment but wished I had done it years ago for the motor

Another vote for the CMC unit. I was pleased. I owned two of them over the years. Very pricey..but....heck its for your B O A T...

Now, if you motor is really old...then another motor already equipped with T & T might be a better economic choice.

this was an idea i was kicking around( glad you mention it).. it's a new to me boat. i'm pretty sure the 20 hp mariner is an 88 model, seems to run really well, but i still havent run it much to be sure...

If your use is just occasionally...then something called a Motor Tilter might do the job for very little money. Heck, you could probably make one up yourself. Rich

i dont have a problem lifting it. i would like to adjust the trim, for performance reasons(like higher speeds, and shallow water...

Can you tell us more about the install process - also, does it allow for switches at the console?


I found the manual - kinda answers most of my questions

Just this year I added Bob's Machine Shop Trim & Tilt unit to my boat that has a 30 hp outboard. Love the unit.

re Install...the first one I bought I had installed at the dealer from whom I purchased it. The second one came installed on the used boat when I bought it. Can't help. Sorry Rich
