86 Capri with Volvo Penta AQ225E

[IBeSonSo]

My I/O does not have power trim. tilt only. I've seen parts catalogs that show the AQ series with power trim. Is it possible to convert mine to power trim?

Hi IBeSonSo, welcome to iboats!!<br /><br />This needs to be moved to I/O. Over there, Don will help you.<br /><br />Yes, it can be done but you'll need a friendly bank manager.

I think I can accomplish it if I get the transom assembly from a 280T that has power trim. Can I use my 275 on a 280 power tilt transom assy?

If you 'bump' a thread, it moves to the top of the list so that (maybe) it will be more visible and attract some attention.

Sorry, thats not what I was trying to do. I have been doing ALOT of online research trying to come up with a power trim for my boat. And I had learned quite a bit about designs and part numbers, and some interchangeability. So I added my question to the post. <br /><br />Again, sorry

If you was waiting on me, I don't have a clue about the 280T system and what will go with it and what won't.
