sorry to post this in the Johnson forum but i haven't gotten any responses on the yamaha forum and I have been told that the johnson tilt/trim units are similar to johnsons.

I am wondering if it is possible to take the entire tilt /trim assembly from a 1987 yamaha 70 and put it on a 1996 yamaha 40 to replace a broken tilt unit.

the 70 is a donor motor so the relays and other parts should be available assuming that they all work.

I have enjoyed participating in the Johnson Evinrude side of this forum but this is my first Yamaha. I don't have any experience with Yamaha outboards.

Re: yamaha tilt/trim swap

I really doubt it,omc would be different,from what I know of Yammies ,the 40 and 70 are different size ,do some measuremnts,the best way is maybe calling a dealer,or remove both and compare,hopefully you will find some concrete answers,sorry I cant give it 2 u.
