I have posted before about my 1994 48 SPL which has the notoriously unreliable touch trim system that happens to be stuck in the down position. I got lucky to find a 1989 Johnson 50 for dirt cheap with a broken but repairable Tilt/Trim unit and am in the process of parting out the motor but am keeping Tilt/Trim components for possible installation on the 48.
The 50 horse came with all the needed wiring, relays, switch etc. I have read that some say the installation is not too hard to do yet some others recommend going third party Tilt/Trim. I am not going to spend the large $ for an aftermarket unit. If anyone has done an installation like this I would love to hear their opinions about the difficulty of such. BTW, I am not a professional but I am a pretty experienced mechanic and have a wide array of tools including an engine hoist, motor stand, torches etc.
Thanks!
