Panther 55 Tilt & Trim

[keithet]

I have a Yamaha 40 hp 4 stroke with a Panther 55 tilt/trim unit. I am moving it to a small pontoon boat. The brand new, never been the water pontoon has a Mercruiser Binnacle control with a two way button on it for tilt/trim. The Panther control is a two button three wire switch. Is there any reason I could not use this to control the Panther? I assume I would have to splice/wire in the Panther plug to go to the wires from the Mercruiser control. Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Re: Panther 55 Tilt & Trim

I don't see why not, but you will need to get the wiring diagrams for both systems to figure out the proper wiring. If you lucky, both systems use the same number of wires.
