[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 479186, member: 22613"] It may work as a tilt cylinder, but I'm not sure that it would lift it while underway. You have a lot of horsepower acting on a 2ft lever to lift against. The hydraulics in power trim setups have lifting capacities measured in tons, not pounds. The math and physics is a little above my understanding, hopefully there is another member on here that could figure out how much force it would take. As for DIYing a hydraulic setup, I doubt you could source everything and come up with something for a price that is less than a bolt in CMC unit. [/QUOTE]
