Tilt and Trim

Post by Redbelly »

Is there an aftermarket T&T motor for outbords? I have a 40 hp w/o t&t, and wonder if it possible to rig it up with t&t?

Wevan is that the same model you have?

Why did you only use it two times?

Will it work on a long shaft Nissan?

I may be interested in yours.

I was stupid enough to think I could work on a Force motor and keep it running long enough to make the money spent worth it :smt011 The motor got throwed and the T&T got put in the shop as a reminder of my folly :smt010 It is a PT-135 and has all cables and controls :thumbup:

Chalk: the 35 is for 35HP and below :-D

Wevans, you are correct about the smaller mount bracket. Also, the CMC 35 is not nearly as sturdy a unit as the larger unit.
What was I supposed to do today?

It's not that much..it's more a weight and torque issue.....I had this same discussion with JEM a few weeks ago with my boat project....Example 40 hp 2 stroke and a 40 hp 4 stroke...which one weights more? If it won't fit that's different....But if it will, what is 5 hp?

Thanks for the info guys. This has got me wanting to keep the 40hp Nissan.

Wevans I want to talk to you about that trim motor you have.

Looks like my quest for a bigger flats boat is still on! :-D
