[QUOTE="Busbey, post: 453005, member: 6182"] Just purchased a new boat, 1989 Grumman with a 4 stroke 30hp Merc. It has the hydraulic pump that is adjusted (down only obviously) by a small lever. of course, when i need it back up, i have to lift it manually. The question is, couldn't i somehow add an electrical something to push it back up? or would i need to purchase the whole setup? PLEASE forgive my ignorant choice of words here, but i am not sure what to call it. Basically, in my life i have had a bunch of 10hp old Johnson that weighed nothing on a jon, or a big 150 on a much larger motor with power trim and tilt. the smaller motors only ever had a pin to hold the motor where i wanted it and not a lever with a hydraulic piston... which i also assume i can get the motor where i want to and leave it pressing against that piston and not have to choose a pinhole setting? really hope this makes sense. also being so new, i do not have pictures of what i am working with but i will get some asap! keep in mind, id be wanting to do this the cheap way and have a toggle switch or button to go up or down, nothing crazy.
