Re: Hydraulic tilt for 1963 and 1970 40hp Evinrude / Johnson

[Monte NZ]

Hullo everyone.
Thanks very much all of you for your replies and thanks too Frank,for posting the 1970 listing proving that they were available…….my memory hasn’t gone to the dog’s after all!!!
The price of $400 US, when converted to New Zealand dollars plus freight plus GST would make it a very expensive exercise!!!
I guess even in USA, the $400 dollar price tag would put a lot of people off purchasing one.
On the basis that you chaps haven’t seen one over your way,the chances of picking up a second hand one here would be most unlikely.
The only other thought I have ,is would it be possible to modify a tilt unit of a later 50hp?……….I will see if I can learn anything from dealers down here.

Thanks very much again for your input………you certainly are a very knowledgeable bunch of guys!!

Keep up the good work!

PS I will check out the price at CMC Marine just for curiosity,but I suspect that it will still cost a lot.
