| I have a 1987 Johnson and need to get a tilt/trim on it. Is there an aftermarket product i should look at or should i try and find a used unit somewhere? |

| What size motor.
Aftermarket unit is going to be less hassle, and seems to be the way many go. They always set the motor back a few inches so keep that in mind. If you are using a tiller boat you may not be able to set the motor back that far (the handles in that era were not as long as current tiller handles on some engines) |

| This is info you I would double check but I 'think' you are looking for a 1980 and up unit if you want a factory unit. I KNOW you want a 2 wire unit because they are more common, and replacement motors for that unit are cheaper and easier to find.
Also believe you are looking for a 35-55hp unit. I don't think any of the 60hp and up will work because I always see those tilt/trim units listed as fitting 60-75hp 3cyl, and 85-135hp 4 cyl
Aftermarket=CMC....That's the only one I know of. |

| Call that place in the Twin Cities with all the old motors. They have the parts to do this. I can't think of the name right now. Just helped a coworker do this on his Pontoon boat last year.
Twin Cities outboard? Oldtimers sucks. |
