unhbass37 Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Can someone tell me how hard and the cost to add power trim to a 50hp Mercury? It would be on a Bass Tracker. Quote

unhbass37 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Posted May 7, 2009 724.00 WOW. Forget that. The guy told me it only cost 250 bucks to put power trim on. This is a boat I was looking at and it only has manual trim now. Quote

BigBassGuy Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Just the new pump motor will cost atleast $250 new, then you have to add the rest of the assembly. You can find plenty of used power trim setups on Ebay for pretty fair prices though. Quote
unhbass37 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Posted May 7, 2009 I guess my best bet would be to find a boat WITH power trim. Quote
unhbass37 Posted May 14, 2009 Author Posted May 14, 2009 Well I ended up with a mint 1997 Bass Tracker Pro 18 dual console (from Factory) with a 40hp mercury. Seats and carpet are in great condition (no rips) and no dents in hull. I had to drive 6 hrs one way to get it, But well worth. Thanks to all that helped out. Quote
