    2004 Yamaha 40HP TLRC forward gear engaged when warm up throttle was up?

Well I did that and...

    Mercury 50 hp el 1984, power trim

    Hi, I have a Mercury 50 hp el without power trim. I would like to install it. Is it easy to do and is there after market parts to do it? Also is it worth the investment in such an older motor? Thanks, Dave
