[QUOTE="SAABologist, post: 499518, member: 31667"] I have the same motor and the lack of tilt drives me crazy. We do a lot of beach launches in Baja and lack of tilt makes it more of a hassle at low tide. I probably will invest in an adjustable jack plate. The electric ones are expensive but as others mentioned you can use it on your next motor. I will get a jack plate that can handle a 50hp 4-stroke. An alternative is to rig an electric actuator. There are some youtube videos you can find where folks demonstrate how they added a linear actuator for about $100. I am looking into that too, but want to find an actuator that can handle saltwater for long periods. [/QUOTE]
