Need Power Tilt/Trim for 1972 50hp Johnson

[rebmo]

I'm looking for a reliable 12v power tilt/trim mechanism for a 1972 Johnson 50hp. My back can't take the lifting and I would like to be able to power tilt the motor in shallow water. The motor weighs 192 lbs. Does anyone have any suggestions based on experience? Was there an original Johson tilt/trim? Good or bad experience/comments appreciated.

trying to find usable reliable parts is hard and expensive. the best is one of these, although, they cost more than the motor is probably worth. CMC has been around since the 50's.

you may be better off repowering the boat with a t&t motor.
