    Will power trim fit.

    I have a 1984 70 hp Evinrude without power trim and I found somebody selling a power trim that came off a 1985 120 hp Evinrude. Does anybody know if it will fit my motor and if I had to rebuild it, would it be worth it. He wants about $250.

I let it run for 2 or 3 mins to let it warm up and get rid of the fogging oil and then pulled the spark plugs and did a compression test. Top 141 Middle 145 Bottom 139.
