trim and tilt for the financially challanged

[WBNflyfish]

I have a 1982 Johnson 50 HP that I would really like to add trim and tilt. I'm looking for suggestions on brands and places to buy. Thanks

I've always had good luck with stuff from Cabela's. In their latest marine catalog, they have a T&T for $510 for motors up to 130HP. One for motors 35HP and under for $440. Have you tried an internet search?

Thanks. Yes, I've seen the Cabela's stuff. My local OMC dealer can get me a factory OMC unit for $600. I have found a unit called CMC (Cook Manufacturin Corporation) for about $425.00 from a local marine supply but I would like to know what other recommeded after market units there are. Guess I will search the Internet. Thanks

WBN, Your dealer can still get this!?! Is it New Old Stock(NOS) or is it just a CMC/Panther type add-on sold through OMC/BMC. My info says that this 2 ram system as well as the 1 ram tilt only for this app is long since out of production.

dpminc,<br /> I guess I assumed he was talking about a OMC unit. I have since found a used CMC unit for about $200. I'll double check with my OMC dealer and see what unit they are selling and or suggesting.

I am about to purchase the CMC PT-130 for my Force 125hp engine. This was the best one that I have found and talked to CMC's tech support on the install. Overtons caries them for $429.00 also.<br /><br />I will be picking it up this weekend. It also has the 6 inches of setback which should help get a little more speed out of it.<br /><br />Good luck.<br /><br />Bryan
