Wouldn’t it be easier to just transplant a trim unit off of a newer style motor starting in the early 80’s? As long as it isn’t FAST TRACK, it should fit into the hole on the bottom of the stern/swivel bracket for the piston stud? Or if there is no hole, I guess this is an invalid recommendation.
The stern brackets are pretty easy to switch; just remove the tilt tube and trim piston stud and transplant over. Plus you don’t have to worry about all the hardware sticking out from the sides of the stern bracket, taking up space on the transom.
Wish it was that easy! You would somehow have to transplant the swivel housing, and stern brackets from a newer engines to make this conversion…I don’t think the swivel housing would fit though, but have never tried it….
