Cheapest way to ship an outboard?

Re: Cheapest way to ship an outboard?

The cmc 65 is only a jack plate...I think you might be referring to the PT-35..which is meant for 35hp or less<br /><br />Only reason I'm not going with the PT-35 is:<br /><br />1) it is not that much less than the PT-130<br /><br />2) I talked to a place that has installed them. (they don't sell them) and they said the PT-35 was a pain to install.<br /><br />3) Since my motor is a 1986 35hp, if I ever have to repower, I want to go to a 40 or 50 and the PT-35 wouldn't be adequate and since they cost so darn much, I only want to spend it once.<br /><br />I don't have any clue what year/hp my tilt trim went to....I bought my ugly boat used and it was on there.....It is just too bulky for my boat (takes up some room and in a 13' whaler, you don't have much room)<br /><br />I'm assuming it is 1986 vintage. I'm going to put a post to see what I have to change out to go from power tilt/trim to manual....<br /><br />If someone is interested I'm thinking about just swapping out the non-power for the power if they pay shipping....Each party would win and that's a good thing.

I researched the the compatibility, and I need the power trim assembly from any inline 6 with power trim, or the 70-80 horse motors. Anything smaller won't work. I guess you'll have to sell the stuff. <br /><br />Yeah, I was thinking about the pt 35. One person I spoke with said unless CMC has made improvements, that the CMC he had was a pain, had a lot of problems with the motor, but this is what one guy said. Since it isn't an emergency that I get power trim, I'll continue to wait until a donor comes along. Thanx and good luck...
