I have a 89 bayliner capri 85hp force 1700 which never had the power trim /tilt, Can you just add a power tilt unit to it? If so, i need a little help on what parts I'm looking for. any references or pictures would help. I added a picture of the outboard.
Thank you.

Your best recourse is to take a look on an actual 85HP with a built in T&T system and take pics. On *bay you can actually find a full T&T system for sale for Force 85 HP motor. And yes, even those for higher HP like 120 and 125 or 90 HP motor usually uses the same T&T systems as long as they are of the same year model.

Early 80's to the early 90's T@T will work.
Some parts will need to be removed.
Get parts diagrams from a 1988+- with T@T and a diagram without the T@T
Just make sure that the wear plate is installed or the short ram will chew up the soft aluminum.
