Power tilt - what is smallest motor?

What is the smallest hp motor that will take a power tilt and/or trim?

If you set up something like the CMC PT-35, you can go as small as you want. You can have it on a small transom mount trolling motor, if you wish.

Just an aftermarket bolt on power tilt mechanism. Bolts to the transom much like a jackplate, and the motor transom clamp bolts to it.

Wow, thanks, man. I didn't know that kind of thing existed! This might help me decide on HP for boat I might get from a friend - it has no motor, and I might want to put my 15 HP on it, but power tilt/trim sure would be nice.

Panther makes a similar unit for the main outboard...their smallest will take a 20 HP up to 35 HP... I suppose anything under 20 HP would also be no problem.... They are expensive... I found a used one on Craigslist that would handle up to 135 HP.... I put it on my 17 ft. Bass Tracker II Mod-V with a 45 HP Merc...works great, I would not be without it for anything over 25 + HP....I got mine for $350.00 and only had to drive about 10 miles....worth the investment for decreased lower back pain alone.....100% electric...runs of boat battery...no hydraulic lines...

You can get a 9.9 merc with factory installed trim/tilt. My dad has a 15 horse four stroke kicker thats got electric start, tilt, and throttle up at the helm so you never have to get out of the driver seat to go from cruising to trolling.
