Power tilt and trim

[raychalsr]

I have a 2008 Yamaha f40 jeha. Am looking to add power tilt and trim to it. Currently has hydro lift. Is this easily added.
Thanks
Ray

Thanks for the quick response Boscoe. My outboard is a jet and from what I’ve heard it needs to be close to the transom.

if that J means it is a jet, how will a set back affect the powering the boat

Extension plate from the bottom of the hull. Live with the motor as is. Pay big big bucks to modify the motor to add a Yamaha power trim and tilt mechanism. Buy an F40 with power trim and tilt. Install your jet drive on it. Sell your old motor with the lower unit from the new F40 on it.

Life is a trade off.

Therefore the limited operation trim would lessen the usefulness of a power trim on a jet, So the biggest convenience would be a better raising and lowering?

Great info. Thank you again. Am new to the world of jets. That solution should help alleviate the cavitation issue.
Thanks
