75 Evinrude 50 bent swivel bracket

[arcticracer]

I just bought a 75 Evinrude 50 that I thought only had a bent swivel tube, the motor was in the up position and would not go down all the way. It looks like the guy had the motor tilted up and somebody ran into it with a car in the driveway as the boat had damage too. Turns out the casting in the center (not the bracket halfs) is bent a little.<br /><br />The motor is manual tilt. My question is which OMC engines could I swap with and maybe replace the entire assembly with hydraulic trim/tilt, or which years/models could I get a donor assembly from?<br /><br />I have not given up on bending it back into shape, I have not broken the aluminum center casting and almost have it straight but I am not sure the tube will slide in straight, and also I am concerned it may be weakened.<br /><br />Thanks in advance for any advice.<br /><br />Dale in Fairbanks, Alaska
