CHRYSLER - tilt and trim mounts/engine mounts/transom mounts

[clauber]

good evening... i have a 1974 chrysler courier 154 with the original 90hp outboard.

my question? the boat is original and did not come with the tilt/trim. i have purchased the whole unit (pistons/pump/rods) off of a 100hp outboard and it appears to be the same late 70's vintage.

the transom mount appears the same.. yess i got the whole unit, with the exception of one other adjustable bracket or a cross brace?? located to the front of the transom mount. this is a larger tube style thing that can, i suppose, be screwed on and off...

it looks like i just have to lift the motor up, uninstall all the components onto my mount, install the piston lifters to my motor.... hook up the wires... a switch... and say goodbye land..

soo the question is, can this be done? JUST CHANGE OVER THE PARTS, AND NOT PULL THE BRACKET OFF... lol anyone know the difference between a 90hp transom mount and a 100hp transom mount... was that brace just for a heavier motor??

i can take pictures of the 2 mounts if it would be easier...

thanks to all

chris.

the motor should be somewhat universal for 75-150hp engines. attach a couple pictures to the post for a better idea of what ya got

Everything is completely swappable. You need not remove anything from your engine. The tube thing about 1 inch in diameter with 1 1/4 nuts (brace) is actually a steering tube. The end of the cable passes through it and the coupler nut of the cable screws onto the exposed threads. A bent bar connects the hole in the end of the cable to the engine steering snout.
