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?

Doubt you can buy a new factory unit-----Used maybe.-----------Factory unit can be installed without removing motor from boat.-----After market units require removal of motor.

??-----No trim assembly looking like that will fit on a 2 cylinder 60 hp from 82 model year. !!------Look up what you need on the parts manuals or accessories parts pages.

You would be better off buying an aftermarket unit. The cmc PT 130 is a good unit Panther also makes a good one.

The CMC PT 130 is a good one. I have installed a number of them and had good luck.
