CMC outboard bracket ?'s

[Huron Angler]

My '79 Starcraft came with a 80hp Merc and a CMC 130 tilt/trim bracket(lucky me) and I have a few questions since I've never dealt with brackets like this before.

I saw in the manual that they were made both with and without the tilt/trim gauge and sending wire. Can I easily add this to mine that is lacking the gauge and wire?

Also what sort of maintenance do these units require? I'm guessing that I need to replace the fluid periodically. What do I do to check for possible issues?

It has worked just fine for me, just want to make sure it stays that way

There are pictures of the bracket in my resto thread link below if needed.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Not sure what all this includes. For the price it should be everything but I would certainly call them first. http://www.magemarinestore.com/trgacokitcm.html

Ya know, I spent the extra money for the gauge and I ended up pulling it because I never ever used it, after a while you just run by feel.

I really don't think you could "easily"add it and I am sure it would be pretty spendy.

To add a trim gauge to the CMC PT-130's you will need the upgrade kit.

Consists of:

- Dash Mount Gauge
- Wiring Harness
- Sending Unit/Sensor (mounts to the PT-130)


PM Me if your still interested in the upgrade kit
