"Bought this baby a month or so ago. It took me about one and a half hours to change it out with the old Mercury tilt trim on my 90 horse. Tool it out the next day and could not be happier. I t realy works great , and so easy to install. Thanks CME, saved me several hundred bucks on having the other reworked or replaced."

"I have one of these on my 16ft bass boat with a 70hp Johnson and it is very nice. Moves my old 70hp Johnson (235lbs) up and down very smooth and fast. It is easy to install and comes with very detailed instructions. I would recommend using a stress plate on the back side of the bolts for extra support. Also, spend the money for heavy grade bolts it will pay off in the end. Awsome system."

Very nice product

Advantages: Design, High Quality, Value for money
"I got this product to lift my 40hp on my Bass Tracker 17 and it does fine. It was very simple to put on, as everything lined up and was just a matter of removing the nuts off the bolts that my motor was mounted with, sticking the trim on, and mounting everything back.
I've used it pretty extensively over the past couple of weeks, and I've had only one problem with it. The breaker that comes with it (already wired) pops every now and then, and the one that they sent to me had a broken reset button.
However, i did call the company, and they sent me a new breaker free of charge and it is taken care of now.
I'm not a complainer...but this is the only reason it didn't get 5 stars. We'll see how this new breaker fairs!

Smooth install

,
September 13, 2010
By Cale
from Derby, CT
Advantages: Design, Durability, High Quality, easy install
"The unit was a perfect universal fit and a quick install (if you have a motor lift or a hoist). Just 4 bolts out and 8 bolts in, no drilling. real smooth.
I have it on a 48hp evinrude and it works Great! Its great to be able to trim a boat that didn't come with it and a nice back-saver for lifting the motor at the end of the day.
The wiring harnesses are all prewired! just snake it through and hook it up!! I was left with plenty of day to play with it.
It is strong too! already hit a stump and broke my skeg, but the CMC unit is still going strong, no issues. Definatly a great buy!
The trim guage is a nice touch too, but not necassary.
My only issue was with the shipping, not CMC's fualt, but if you are looking to pay up for "3 day" shipping it is not real...more like 6 days.

everything except

June 10, 2010
By fishihgene
"Have now had 3.5 hours use out of the unit. All time was motor running at different pitches. The motor felt stronger. Easier to plane, no more porposing, better whole shot and a little faster top end.
My only gripe, which i fixed.
The toggle they provide sticks out. Like a toggle switch will. where do you mount it so it becomes second nature to use?
Solution : purchased the Transom trim control,
mounted it to my throttle control. Put the toggle switch
at the transom. good to go. Until ice up!

Advantages: Design
"I own a boat w/ a 40hp Evinrude outboard and had to replace the tilt assembly. I was going to go w/ the manual tilt because it was what was already there. But my repair guy suggested that I get the electric model; and I’m glad it listened.
I have only used it a few times thus far, but it works flawlessly and makes boating / fishing less “work” and more pleasurable."

"If your motor does not have tilt and trim, this product is a good choice to add it to your boat. I had a johnson 115 on mine and it worked flawlessly every time I took my boat out."

"This review is based on install only. i just installed it yesterday and i have not had it on the water yet.
This unit was very easy to install! I did it by myself with no crane for my motor. i have a johnson 40hp and here is how i installed it. 1st I put a floor jack under the motor and unbolted it. i slid the motor as far to one side of the boat as possible. i then mounted the new cmc unit. next i slid the motor and jack over to mount on the new unit. the final step was running the wiring. it was that simple! it seems to work great and i hope i am as happy with the longevity of the product as i was with the ease of installation. ill be testing it on the water tomorrow.
only complaint would be that i think the 2 relays should be closer to the switch so i could have mounted them under the console away from any water. i will probably extend the wires so i can do so."

"This is an excellent tilt/trim for motors that need it. It mounts easily with one buddies help. For those who are tired of hefting the ol' evenrude up all the time for the shallows or to put her on the trailer this is the ticket!"
