Re: Power Trim Upgrade?
I am facing the same problem with my '98 Johnson 50 spl. You can upgrade, you just need the hydraulic system. That is probably part no.: 438135 which goes for around $500.00 used and lists new for $1,150.00 (let me know if you can find a better price because I have to pick this part up). You would still need switches, solenoid, wiring, etc., and about 3 hours mechanic's shop time.
The touch assist that is on there, Part no.: 0434037, is junk. When they fail, and they have a track record of failing, they cannot be rebuilt. The replacement part new lists at $470.00 but can be found for $399.50. I just broke my second one inside a year.
