Tilt Retro Fit Help

[AugustMoose87]

I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to my question, but I want to make sure so I don't miss out on a good opportunity.

I have a 1978 model 800 outboard (serial 4832396) that currently had relies on man power to raise and lower. I've been trying to keep an eye out for parts to retro fit it so it has hydraulic tilt, when I came across THIS ebay listing. I know that isn't the style that would normally be on my motor or one similar to it, but I'm wondering if anyone knows if its close enough I could retro fit it and make it work.

Any help/advice would be great, THANKS!

Nope,... It won't work...

You need the style that replaces yer shocks, with rams...

Dang... thats what I figured, but I was hoping otherwise, since the cheapest set-up of those I've would is $400 instead of that at $110. Oh well, thanks for letting me know.

Here's a page from this site http://www.iboats.com/CMC-Electric-...27360314--session_id.796063684--view_id.38551 that shows what you can do with aftermarket stuff. The setback will also give you more speed as will the trim.
