[QUOTE="caveeagle, post: 440283, member: 22813"] Thanks for the thoughts.. I might be able to live with the tiller-steer.. but really need to do something about shallow clearance. My motor is a '2002 mercury 25hp 2-stroke/electric start with very low hours. Since purchase, I have had to have work done including a carb rebuild and replacing filter and power pack. Now its running great, so I am hesitant to switch over to another motor, although a friend has a 25hp tohatsu 4-cycle efi that is awesome and has the T/T already. If I found a good deal on that motor, I might jump on it. I have looked at the CMC Tilt units as well as the Atlas jack-plate. I have not ruled that out, but both options seem like an $800 purchase, and I think the Atlas would require another $120 adapter plate for my motor (not 100% sure).. So for a $1,000 add on.... I thought I would spend at least a little time searching for the factory tilt parts that SHOULD bolt right on and get me what I need. The factor "add on" kit seems to have a list price of $900 and is not stocked in most places I have looked. I would be happy to pay 50% of that for a working used setup.. ...I could list my motor for sale and start saving up for the motor I really need. [/QUOTE]
