Hi fellas. I bought another boat, 1989 Sea Nymph Fishing Machine FM161. It came with a 1989 40 HP Johnson twin with VRO2 on it. I bought it from a guy at work that I trust for $1800 for boat, motor and trailer. It's a diamond in the rough. And I mean rough. He bought it a couple years ago and only used it a couple times. Motor looks pretty clean. It came with a used power tilt/trim assembly in a box. Some assembly required. Tilt/trim unit looks identical to the one on my 84 Evinrude 150 on the Astro. He said it just needed to be installed. I planned to install it yesterday and looked at my 150 to see how it was attached, then looked at the bracket on the 40 HP. The 40 has no mounting provisions for tilt/trim. There are no holes for it. The 40 HP is a manual tilt motor. And it's missing a tilt assist cylinder and the lock/unlock lever doesn't do anything. I think it's missing parts that I don't have. My dock is in very shallow water so tilt/trim is just about a "must have". My gut feeling is that I can change the transom bracket to a power tilt/trim bracket and add a relay box for the electrics and It should work. Finding a blown up motor with a good bracket shouldn't be too hard. If I have the tilt/trim assembly, is the transom bracket the only other part I need to convert this motor? I bought some XD50 oil and I will mix 100:1 in the tank until I'm sure the VRO2 works correctly and is injecting oil. TIA!
