I need a complete set-up for tilt and trim designed for a 1973 Evinrude 85 hp. Of course I'd take any tilt and trim that would fit without making major adjustments.
The OE part was a kit that came out in 1975 and is not available except used. You may find one at a salvage yard, but be sure to get one that does not have a Calco pump and does include the solenoid box and harness.
Super good information. Thanks ezeke! You have probably saved me much time, worry and work. I just joined this forum and am already getting great results.

Good luck. I looked for years to try to find a complete unit for my '73 85 for less than the $400 or so they always went for on ebay. I did not succeed.
EDIT: strike that, I didn't originally read that you said 1980's. If it did fit (which it probably wouldn't) would it have enough power to overcome the additional HP?

No it will not.

it would have exact same power as the 1970 unit since it is the same pump (psi) and rams (square inches) mounted with the same geometry (leverage). The big question is the curvature, width, and bolt pattern on the saddle bracket.
