The project on my "entry level" 1969 17footer is going well. My boat came with a questionable 1986 Yamaha 115. The whole power trim unit was missing. I've been shopping craigslist.com and ebay for a trim unit or maybe a blown motor for parts, and have been tempted at times with a few ads for complete setups, like a used Merc 90, to switch it out. (I find that outboards come cheaper if you're willing to haul off a boat along with the motor!)
My question is: Are there aftermarket trim units that will work for my old Yamaha? Also, if in your travels, you run across a trim unit for my Yamaha, would you shoot me a message?
Thanks all!

Dan,
Here's one good for 335 lbs
Panther™ Model 135 Trim & Tilt.
It's a little pricey at $575 - $750 in this Google product search.

hmmm, that IS a little pricey! Can I get by without power trim? What about reverse? Will the motor float up when I put it in reverse?
