Hey all...

Since I'm having so many problems with this Suzuki that came on my Arima (ref: '88 Suzuki DT85 Whoes), and I do have the 85hp Yamaha that I took off of my last boat about a month ago. It runs perfect but, (unlike the Suzuki), is manual tilt with no power trim. So now I have a new thought.
Is it possible to remove the power trim/tilt unit from the Suzuki and use it on the Yamaha? The Collar on the tilt ram is the same size. I'd have to remove the electrical circuits from the Suzi to make this work too. But the theory is sound...I think.
Question is...Do you know of anyone that has done this before?

Thanks,
Terry B.
