Just wondering if the PT-130 tilt&trim unit made by CMC will work on my 1972 johnson 65hp? Good motor, but I herniated 3 discs in my back and can't horse it around like I used to.<br />thanks blt

There was a power tilt accessory for that motor, however power trim wasn't offered until 73. As for A unit by CMC, I haven't heard of it. a web link perhaps?

Boatownersworld.com is one. I think they even show it here on the iboats site. They have a 35 for smaller motors and the 130 for larger ones. Thanks....and you're right about the hole in the water.

I appreciate the input. I was beginning to think I would have to get rid of the motor and get a newer one that had a t&t unit. Many thanks,<br />blt

Anybody got any experience with the Panther t&t unit? I forget where I saw it offered. Possibly here in iboats megamall.
