1997 evinrude 40 hp tiller tilt assist

[maineiac5586]

Is there an alternative to the lever operated touch trim cylinder for my 97 evinrude 40 hp longshaft tiller ? It doesn't use the same bracket as a control equipped motor or else I'd think about adding a power trim unit.

I have heard that the 35hp rated unit will handle a 40hp 2 stroke but I would research that if interested. It’s a few $$$ less.

Go find a junk 40/50 with tilt and trim. Shouldn't be hsrd to find one.

Different bracket from what I can see.

That's why if you find the whole motor you get all the parts.

You think that whole bracket will swap over? I have a 48 hp longshaft parts motor but it's a regular controls motor and has the touch trim unit (non functional) . I wonder if I swap that bracket all I need is the power trim unit from another motor not a whole bracket
