Re: tilt and trim info
I think the CMC unit is a better choice. It is electrohydraulic and the Panther is all electric.
I frankly don't like either one. I have a CMC 130 on my Johnny 48SPL and am changing engines mostly to get factory PT&T.
What I don't like is that they are really tilt-only, where factory units trim with seperate, slow pistons and are far easier to adjust trim when on plane.
Based on my own experience, then, I recommend swapping engines to a factory PT&T engine rather than pouring hundreds of bux into an aftermarket unit.
