2. If not on the CV85 bracket, then will the bracket from the 115 fit on my CV85?
If...

Anybody have one of these? Do they work as prescribed?

I have a Yamaha CV85 with manual tilt. Since I bought it new in 1990 I have...
I have a Yamaha CV85 with manual tilt. I have developed arthritis in my back so it's really hard for me to tilt the motor now.
I'd like to add a factory trim/tilt system but cannot locate a complete system (wiring harness, gauge, and switches) to go with the actuators etc.
Currently I'm...
I have an older Die-Hard brand trolling motor (I believe they were actually made by Minkota). I'd like to put this on my inflatable pontoon and fish for Salmon this sumer in the bays around my place. BUT...I have no idea if it will ruin my motor. Can I use it provided I thoroughly wash it...
I'm adding a fuel tank to my boat that never had a permanantly installed tank before. I have a factory gauge and the tank is new from the boat manufacturer. But I'm not sure how to connect the wiring for the sending unit. Can anyone provide me a quick drawing?
The back of the gauge has...

After all these years I'm finally going to add a tach to the dash. But I don't know the wiriing color codes...Can anybody fill me in?

I'm planning on changing to electric downrigers and have found a killer deal on a pair of Walker electrics (tournament models).
Around here (Puget Sound), most folks use Scotty's, but I am not a fan of the belt drive system.
There appear to be some major advantages to the Walker's but...
OK...so I get me new kicker bracket mounted up, put the kicker on it. While I'm tightening it down I'm thinking about getting out next weekend for some Blackmouth before you guys get them all.
BUT...here comes good 'ole Murphy...
My kicker ('89 merc. 9.9) is a long shaft. the cav. plate is...

1999 Merc. 9.9hp 2-stroke. Has been in storage for last 8-9 yrs. Mounted it on the boat yesterday and now I find out that while it tilts just fine and is lubed well...it will not lower back into the run position. Thoughts? Ideas??
Thanks,
