I have a 1988 Johnson 60 hp without tilt and trim. would like to add OEM tilt and trim. I was told Johnson didn't have inside the mounting brackets tilt and trim until 1989 and on the 1988 they had it mounted on the outside of the brackets is this true? The tilt assist cylinder doesn't seem to work on helping lift when I'm tilting it inside the boat.

Your information is totally wrong !-----Inside the transom brackets was available in 1978 for 3 cylinder 70 HP.-----Later ( 1988 ) labelled as 60 HP at the propshaft.-----Lots of used ones are available depending on your location.

Thank You. That's what I thought I've been looking on ebay and saw quite a few none here in PA. unfortunately.

I have a couple on ebay that might work for you. I live in Central NJ. My ebay store is Doug's outboards.
