Someone mentioned that without the tilt and trim the motor can bounce up if I hit a log or rock, and save the slower end hopefully, if I have tilt and trim it can’t move?
I have a Johnson 70 seahorse I want to add tilt and trim just don’t know what’s compatible serial number is J5114754 and I see a tilt and trim system on some of them but I don’t know which is the correct route.

I found this one but want to make sure it will work

I’m hoping I can test everything before hand I have to have a custom livewell and not gonna have much room for foam after I planned on making everything structurally secured with aluminum
I recent bought a 1981 alumacraft turning it into a river boat for catfish tournaments and bait fishing.
It had a bunch of foam in it and I needed to replace the transom wood is rotten. I removed all the foam and there was even foam under the floor and sides do i need to put it back? Will it...
So I put some oil in the cylinders lined em up and spun it over I got it to start but it will immediately backfire and cut off after starting the will be hard to start again
was running fine this morning then this happened I don’t know if starter maybe went out as well? But fly wheel key is perfect
Flywheel turns everything togeather
I still have spark on all cylinders and it turns over but turns over extremely slow not even close enough to start, when it back fired it caused a little fire which was put out immediately.
What should be my next step? starter is new and as long as spark plugs are out it will turn over fast but...
