I have a Force 85 hp engine with no power tilt/trim. This year I was diagnosed with bone cancer and I am unable to lift the engine anymore which of course makes it impossible to land/launch the boat. I have been looking for a power tilt/trim to put on the engine but there are no 87 power tilt/trim units that I can find. The common tilt/trim is 88 - 90 something! Does anyone know if the later year tilt/trims (88-above) are compatible with an 87? As far as I can tell my transom mount is different (Lower bolts go through transom, upper clamps on the inside of the transom). The newer transom mount has all 4 bolts going through the transom. If I purchase a newer 88-above power tilt/trim can I use my transom mount and just add the power tilt/trim to my current mount? Are there any other compatibility issues that I need to know about?
Thanks for any insight or help
