    Aftermarket trim: Panther power trim and tilt bracket opinions?

    Looking for an aftermarket power trim and tilt for my sons Hydrostream Voodoo with an older Evinrude 50hp. I came across a Panther model 55 power trim and tilt bracket for a good price. Anyone use one of these? Opinions? Good, bad?
    Thanks

    I have one on a gw invader mod 85 Suzuki set up high enough to have prop shaft even with pad. Seems plenty strong wish it trimmed a bit faster. I did have the relay crap out this summer for the trim but not sure how old it is didn't buy new. I have had the boat into low 70's with no issues. Hope this helps

    Isn't this model rated for up to 250lb motor? I should have asked but I assumed he was talking about a 2cyl motor which should be fine. I realize my application is pushing the limits and don't really suggest doing many things I do lol. As always be safe, wear a good life jacket and check you rig before and after every use.
