In 1972 you culd get power tilt as a option ,if you culd find a unit ,I can´t see any problems there .<br />One other option are this one PT-130 .<br /><br />

Droll,<br /><br />Thanks for the info. I guess an existing 2nd user unit would be hard to find.<br />The PT-130 looks good. I am in the UK so getting one through iboats is a bit of a problem (unless they can ship to the UK) Are they available in europe do you know?<br /><br />How easy are theese units to fit?<br /><br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />Ian

Did a quick Google but did not find any shopps in the uk , but I know I can get it here i Norway + in Sweden , just ask you local boating shop ( try one of the bigger one )<br /><br />But you can also send Iboat a mail <br /> Clip from the shop<br />

For U.S. territory and international orders please contact us by phone or email.

I will have a look in the week. Shipping from the USA can be quite high and if I have any problems warranty could also be an issue.<br /><br />I will mail iboats and see.<br /><br /><br />I take it these are easy to fit?<br /><br />Thanks for the information.

Devilfish, I have a CMC tilt on my 71 60 hp, works great. Very easy to install, all the holes are predrilled, bolts are provided and just hook the wires to your battery. Seems to be very high quality. Would be surprised if you had problems. Have had mine almost a year in salt water and it still looks and functions like new

Re: '72 65Hp Evinrude- Powertilt

Droll,<br /><br />thanks for the information. With shipping and tax etc it make it a bit mor than i wanted to spend.<br /><br />However... I have found a 2nd hand unit for sale on e-bay in the UK. I am hoping I can modify this to fit my engine. Its a much cheaper option.<br /><br /><br />Does anyone know if it will fit?<br /><br /> EVINRUDE TRIM/TILT COMPLETE WITH TRANSOM BRACKET <br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />Ian<br /><br /><br />URL below.
