looking to buy-inline transom power trim for 60's mercury 125 bp motor

[shadowcat]

want to buy- don't know what they were called?- the power trim unit that bolted on the back transom of the boat at the bottom (not the top) and attached to bottom of shock to give a 60's inline mercury motor power trim lift- looking to buy one for 1970 vintage outboard ex race boat- any one got one collecting dust???? any leads as to who might have one??? thanks in advance....Ted

Kinda hard to tell what part you are after, via that description. Are you refering to the standard inline trim cylinders & brackets assy.? Or the pump inside the boat? Or the external, smaller, "ligthweight" race trim cylinders? Or?

- sorry- not sure what it was called- thru transom trim?? was common on late 60's mercury outboard tunnels 303885

Ted. The diagram is the race trim. You can find them but are becoming pretty rare and pricey.

thanks Barry for info-

Yes, what largecar said. But they were not through transom. They were mounted to just the back of the transom. They were used mostly in the early to mid 70's on inline sixes. Mostly on standard midsection sixes, such as 150XS's & 1500's, etc. Hi-Perf inlines on the other hand, were usually on tunnels that went with the single-cylinder thru-transom arrangement. In Sport J class tunnels for instance, with a standard mid six, the lightweight dual cylinders were the preferred.

We made or had ours made. If we're talking about the same trim set up. Not that hard if you're handy with metal or know someone that is. Use the regular inline pump and just one (1) cylinder. It pushes against the top of the lower unit (where it bolts to the housing) with some sort of tough plastic sitting in a "U" for steering.

Original BP's had clamp brackets that did not accept power trim. that was added by th eindividuals later.
