Stand in for a Johnson tilt and trim for a 70 hp 1977

[katthetone]

Is there anything else out there, that anyone knows of that could work for a tilt trim system for a Johnson 70hp 1977. Some after market, an adaption plate... etc. that a person could use instead of an old model one that is hard to find and repairs cost a fortune. Thanks

it cost almost as much as the motor is worth. http://www.iboats.com/CMC_Electric_...28731187--**********.801025751--view_id.38551

Hi there, I already paid 550.00 for the wrong one. Which I am sure I am going to have fight to get my $$back for, even though he guaranteed it would work for me. And has a 7 day return, it isnt suppost to be mailed until the 6th of july and he isnt answering my emails. etc and I bought it yesterday.
So with that said, which on is it from the iboats listing that you sent me which one do I need to order, thanks lots

You need the PT-130. Yeah they're pricey but a great product. You can probably sell it for close to what you paid for it sometime in the future if you get a new motor with T&T. If I had the $$ I'd definitely have one.

Cool thanks, just wanted to make sure. I didnt want to buy the wrong one again. It will fit mine for sure then I finally heard back from the guy about the one I bought and was the wrong one, he is refunding my money. Thank god, dont have to hear my husband talk about this, for the next year... lol... You saved my you know what, thanks so glad I can here.

Yeah they are pretty universal. You just need one for the appropriate horsepower handling capability which the PT-130 is. You remove your motor from the boat, mount the PT-130 to the boat and mount your motor to it. All the hole should line up. Be sure to let us know how it works out if you get one.

I will let you know how it works if I go that route, will I need wires and what not or does it come with control wires etc? Gonna have to toggle it since I dont have the tilt trim button on this throttle. thanks again.
