    Adding trim/tilt?

    I have a 1982 60hp Johnson outboard that came on a boat I just bought, it didn't come with trim/tilt. So My question is if I buy a trim/tilt unit will it just bolt up? and Will I have to take the outboard off or will I be able to install it with the outboard still on the boat?
