They are all different, depending upon the year and engine. it's either a motor driven screw jack on the front motor mount or hydraulic rams on the motor mounts. A Seloc manual will give you the best illustration of the various setups. <br /><br />If you are contemplating trying to add on this feature, your $$ may be better spent in a set of Smart Tabs.

Most inline engines used a worm screw and electric motor to lift the front of the engine, thus tipping the whole powertrain.<br /><br />Where in Canada spine? I have two (I think two) trim systems for the inline engines - I think the motor's dead on one and the worm gear is seized on the other, or something... someone could probably make one out of the two.<br /><br />The smart tabs might be the way to go too though. New, reliable stuff..
