I don't know of a power trim and tilt for the standard shaft three cylinders. I suppose you could adapt the old dual external ram setup from a 2 cylinder but the transom brackets are a little different.

There is a power trim for the race three cylinders but it is trim only, no tilt. Has a horizontal ram that goes through the transom and pump inside the boat. I need one if anyone has a spare at a reasonable price.

The old duel ram trim/tilt system worked on the 2,3, and 4 cylinder motors. If the center bracket that the steering arm goes through has the 6 bolt holes in it (the 4 lower holes will be tapped 3/8) the 2 ram setup will work.

never made factory trim for the short shaft, only a bracket to mount one trim ram in the middle for racing but that will have to go through the boat.....

Can the whole bracket from a 20" model triple with T&T be adapted to a 15" midsection or are they all different ?

I too have a older shorty somewhere. Blew a cylinder ten years ago and I have not looked at it since... :-)

have to make the tilt tube from a 20" go into the 15" swivel bracket, or make a swivel bracket.

you can get creative

btw thats an I6 trim cylinder with the bracket fliped around and welded onto my 2cly mid (which was cut and welded to fit 3cyl powerheads) and the top of the trim ram was cut and a smaller metal piece was put on so it fits in nice

i didnt do this work, some crazy NY'er did lol.

what I was saying, your swivel and clamp is way different from the short 3 cyl. The parts you used have more room in them to make that. Especially when you have some crazy NY ker that can weld like that............

LOL he is an awsome welder!. j/w have you found any shorty l/u for the omc 3cyl at all??

HANS: ronnie says $400 for the trim if you send him your swivel bracket and inline ram. another $200 if you want a snout like mine..
