I just replaced the junk 85hp Force on my 89 spectrum with a 79 mercury 80hp. I had power trim on the old motor, and the new one does not, and after a few times out on the erie canal I really miss having power trim/tilt. I found a power trim set-up for a newer 90hp mercury and I know it looks different, but if the bolt pattern is the same, I can make it work I think. Has anyone done this, or am I better off trying to find the correct one, or buying an aftermarket one? Other than not having power trim, this motor is awesome, and even though its rated less hp, and is 10 years older, it runs way better than the Force ever thought of running!
