85 Johnson V90 w/ Power trim

[64osby]

Ended up with hijack in a different thread, trying to see if anyone can tell me if my motor / tilt is factory or an add on by the PO or a Marina?

Model # J90MLCOS.

This is the hijack

EZ thanks for the compliment and the slap down. :beaten: The PT&T is different than what I have.

This is my '85 V90. Has power TILT only and the pump is outside.

That's a pretty oddball setup for an '85 you've got there 64. Pre-'78 I'd understand but I thought those tilt only units went away much earlier. Even my '81 has the more modern style completely integrated into the bracket unit.

EZ - Did a little checking and came up with this. http://www.**********/parts/search/B...NLY/parts.html

The unit doesn't show up under any parts manual for a V90. The one above is for a 65HP. Parts break down show it as made for 1984/85 motors.

It would be interesting to learn if the '85 V90 was ordered with this as an option or if the PO added it.

Oddball Well yea um:watermelon:

look up the factory trim on a 1985 65HP WTL engine. Looks like the same trim system to me.

Go to the "accessories" tab on the 1985 factory exploded parts diagram website. For 1985, the factory lists a power tilt assembly for the 65-115 hp engines. Identical to the one on your engine. Original part number: 173669. It's still available as a special order only.

^^^ Accessories - I've looked at the parts diagrams a thousand times and seemed to have never realized it's there.
