The actual powered outboard on my boat is a 1977 Johnson 85EL77S 85hp.. but that outboard has no trim or tilt.. so when I bought it the seller through in an outboard minus the powerhead which had the trim/tilt on it.. but it is a
1983 Johnson J90TLCTE 90hp.
We initially tried to pull the powerhead off the current and put it on the newer with trim/tilt.. but they were incompatible. Are there any experienced guys on here that could tell me if it is a lost cause to try and get trim/tilt from the newer outboard onto the older one? From what I understand the older models with trim tilt had the motor externally mounted.. so I am not real hopeful
Appreciate any info!
