hey guys I'm new to the site . I have e88mslccc and I want to covert it to a power tilt .I have a parts 90 Johnson 88 spl that has a working power tilt unit on it . how involed is it to slap that unit on my motor? according to my Clymer shop manual it is possible I just need a accessory kit . I am a car mechanic so I'm not real scared to try.thanks
 
i dont know that's what the manual says . I am thinking power to fuse then to a switch . I am not so conserned about trim as I am power tilt
 
There is an add-on trim switch that will retrofit onto older throttle controls to give you up and down control.

AFAIK there isn't separate functionality between trim and tilt, it all works or it doesn't.

I did this on a '78 Johnson 70HP and it's not too hard. Prop the motor all the way up. Remove the tilt assist cylinder, install Trim unit, run wiring to the trim solenoids and trim switch, install trim gauge sender, provide power from battery to trim solenoid box, and that should be it. Is this a single cylinder trim/tilt unit or does it have a center tilt cylinder and 2 smaller cylinders for trim? If it has the 2 small ones you'll need to get the stainless 'pads' that go on the motor bracket where the ends of the cylinders make contact. If it's single cylinder that won't matter.
