88 Force 50hp to 95 tilt/trim bracket

[Joe Woodman]

Hello,
I inherited an 88 Bayliner Capri with an 88 Force 50hp with a manually operated tilt/trim assembly bracket. I found an electric/hydraulic unit on Ebay from a 1995 Bayliner that is in great shape. It is obvious the newer bracket would mount to the transom differently but does anyone know if my motor will connect to the newer bracket? Thanks!

The above link has all the T@T units for all the Forces.
Look through and find the ones for your units.
Then compare part#s for the swivel brackets.
I really doubt they'll change over.
Here's pics of the kingpins for the 2 different models.
Sell the new one and find the right one, ebay has them.
Look for another 50 with the T@T sometimes its cheaper to
get a whole motor than just the T@T unit.
Some people are trying to get rich on ebay, just make sure you can get
your $ back. I always use PayPal

Thanks for the info Jerry, I found a tilt/trim unit that will fit but I have to pull the power head and kingpin to swap out the swivels. Have undone all the bolts, shift linkage, and lower end. The head is loose but is caught on something I cant identify (seems to be stern end). Head will not release. Any idea what is holding it up?
