Does anyone know what it would cost to install an electronic (hydraulic) lift for a 90 HP Mercury Outboard on my 17' Newport?

There are a few ways to go but the most popular is the CMC power tilt. You would probably need the CMC PT-130 - I have seen them listed new for between 500 and 700 - They do come up used on ebay too. The only thing to think about is this sets your motor back about 6" - Some people say this is a good thing. Just make sure your steering cable has enough slack or you will end up with additional unseen expenses.

The other way would be to find the factory pt&t for your motor and add it on. This is usually more expensive.
