Johnson 60hp , 1989 year.

Hello!
I recently purchased a motorboat with a Johnson 60 HP engine that has a manual tilt mechanism.
I’ve now come across an opportunity to buy a non-working Johnson 140 HP engine with power trim.
My question is: are these parts different between the 60 HP and 140 HP engines, or would it be possible to install the power trim from the 140 HP engine onto my 60 HP engine?

Yes it will fit make sure you also take the relays. That looks like a tilt only not a trim unit.

The 60 has a tilt assist / shock absorber cylinder used to make manual tilting easier.----The 120 has power trim / tilt.

Yes , and the relay will fit in this place?

Yes, I do have a tilt assist, but since a 60 hp engine is not one of the lightest, and when running in shallower areas I’d like to raise the engine a bit higher to avoid hitting the propeller. At the moment this isn’t possible, which is why I want to install power trim/tilt.
