    Panther Integral Tilt Trim

    I'm thinking of installing this unit on my 18ft cedar strip for a 2001 Johnson 25hp. Does anyone have any feedback on this unit? According to 2004 Cabella catalogue, its a "new" item. Uses an electric motor rather than hydraulics (I think). No jack plate required either.<br /><br />Would...

    stiff hydraulic steering

    just picked up an old Giesler cedar strip with a 25 johnson o/b (2001) which, incredibly, has hydraulic steering installed. However, the steering is so stiff it can hardly be moved. Now, its damn cold up here, and no doubt that a part of it, but the former owner told me he's had problems with...
