I just bought a 1992 Tracker TX17 with a Johnson 40, model # TJ40ELENM which has the manual, non electric tilt/trim piston between the mounts. The outboard runs great but its a pain lifting and lowering the engine not to mention the MPH I'm losing by not trimming it.
So my question is.....does anyone know if I can replace the manual tilt piston with a used electric model? The controls have the T&T lever built into it and the outboard has a cutout on the side to place a T&T switch.
I don't want to go with the CMC adapter because of the price plus it adds a 6 inch offset and I can barely get the boat in my garage now.
BTW I just found you guys (Tinboats) and look forward to the forums.
