Aftermarket outboard trim and tilt bracket suggestions

[skier167]

I'm looking to add an aftermarket trim and tilt unit to my 1974 Johnson 85HP. I'm looking at the one by CMC and another one by Panther. Has anyone used either one of these or recommend one over the other? I searched the net but there are not alot of reviews out there for either of these units. The only difference I can see between the 2 is the CMC has a 6 inch setback and the Panther has a 7 inch setback. Thanks for the feedback.

I have had a panther for 4 or 5 years it has a four stroke 25hp mercury. The only trouble I have had was with the switch it is kind of like a key fob, I left lay on the seat when it was tied to the dock. The rain corroded the connections inside the switch. I tore it apart cleaned it and it was ok, I keep it covered when it is tied up no troubles since
