[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 417172, member: 13702"] I'm working on my own using a Lenco submersible trim tab actuator and some 1/4" aluminum angle to use with my 25hp, the same should work for your 15hp and be much less expensive. I'm using the 2.25" throw actuator rather than the 4.5" as I don't really care about tilt functionality as it's a light enough motor to tilt by hand as needed - I want to be able to adjust the trim while on the water and trim it up so the prop is barely able to push water for negotiating super skinny areas. This is the actuator retro-fitted to a factory pivot - without the leverage gained by the setback of the angle there won't be enough torque to use it at high speed as the OP of this video found out.
