[QUOTE="dimecovers3, post: 422637, member: 2916"] With gas assist and not having a tiller to help with pulling on a 60/40 Merc is tilting up to clean the grate a bear? Can you do it just by pulling on the cowling or is that too much work too often on some rivers where stuff gets clogged often? I like the idea of the motor kicking up but not all the way into the rear deck passenger. Does the built in impact assist on the Merc power T & T really help with hard hits without the motor coming up too far as it seems can happen on gas assist and let you get to the shoe for cleaning a lot easier plus all the fine tuning benefits? Sounds like the best compromise having never seen one but wanting this particular motor for next rig. I assume the factory set back is a lot less than an aftermarket power unit....is that accurate? On a custom boat is there an ideal transom height for this motor on a tunnel hull for getting the most out of fine tuning? [/QUOTE]
