[QUOTE="thill, post: 479195, member: 4972"] Wow, that gives me a lot to think about! The one I ordered puts out something like 1,360 lbs of thrust, but I'm not sure how much power a 40 HP engine needs to hold it. I'm guessing you are right, that it will not be enough. A new trim pump for my 40 Etec is about $1,300, used, they are $400-$750. Expensive little buggers! Not sure if they even make a trim motor for my old 35 HP. Would have to research more. Maybe what I should be looking for are hydraulic cylinders and a little pump. I wonder if I could make a setup for substantially less than $400? Any thoughts? THANK YOU for the well-informed replies!
