'73 65hp evinrude tilt and trim?

Was just wondering if these motor even came with power tilt and trim. If they did, I figure I can convert my manual tilt to power with some junkyard parts.

Yes there is a T&T for your motor. The trick is to find one in a workable condition. Try Craigslist, EBay, etc.

BigJ, I'm going to modify my statement - I think that the T&T was offered for this series of motor starting in 1976, with the 70hp model. That said, I believe it will fit a 1973 65hp motor.

See this thread for a sort of long discussion that a few of us had, trying to figure out what motor someone had. I think we ended up deciding that it was a 1972 ERude 65hp, with a '73 swivel bracket and stern bracket. As you will see in the photos, the motor has T&T on it.
