Mercury 50 ELPT - .....power tilt?

[Tinny Fleet]

Looking at a new Mercury 50 ELPT. I believe PT stands for Power Trim, which allows one to vary the angle of the motor in the water while underway. In days of old if it had power trim and tilt the acronym would have been PTT

I'm interested in a power TILT functionality such as the situation where you run the thing into shallow water and have to tilt it up to float off.

Another application might be when you pull the boat up on the ramp and want to set the keel of the motor onto a transom support bar.

Aint getting any younger,

Soooooo can any one set me straight? Does this motor have an assisted tilt feature of some kind?

Thanks!

I'm thinking if it has power trim it is going to have power tilt. But, not 100% so hopefully someone else can confirm.

PS: Maybe ask the merc dealer.

I was working on a 40 ELPTO earlier, on the water, in 28 degree air. Brrr! This particular motor did not have PTT, only PT. Did not trim under more than about 1/4 throttle. Tilt only. That was a 2010 year model motor on a Fisher tin boat, stick steer.

I have now learned that this motor has a trim AND tilt. Thought I'd share!
