Power tilt on 1985 Mercury 25hp XD

[Judgie05]

Hi i just recently bought a 1969 Chrysler Cadet. It came with a nice merc 25hp xd short shaft. The only problem is that it does not have a tilt mechanism; such as shallow water drive(to manually tilt). Instead of just getting a kit for manual tilt, i was wondering if you can buy a power tilt for this engine.
Thanks, Brian

CMC makes a great unit aftermarket tilt trim unit for the smaller hp outboards.
The PT-35.

Thanks but that seems a bit expensive. Is there any cheaper option?

You can check on eBay and try to find a used power tilt unit, but they are hard to come by. Maybe you can find all of the parts if you knew the part numbers although some parts may be no longer available.

Without knowing what hp outboard this came off of it's hard to say. It looks like it came off of a high hp motor and would probably not fit.
