Adding power tilt and controls to a 9.9 HT ?

[fishwish]

Anybody add a power tilt and controls to a Yamaha 9.9 HT? I have one with a tiller, and would like to add power tilt, and change the tiller to remote control.

If anyone has done it, what did it cost you? I thought I would check here before I went in to my Yamaha dealer.

Thanks,

It's a 1999...that's funny.

Is it because the 9.9 is ..well....heavy? I had a 20horse fourstroke, which compared to the 2-cycle 20horse that it replaced, was like hauling a big anvil out of the water and I immediately regretted not getting it with tilt-assist even though it was only a 20. Fourstrokes always seem to weigh a ton...

Heavy...yes, and it's a pretty long reach.

This might work or might be too big;

I have a system like this for my 9.9 Yami kicker and it is awesome. I would buy new as they are not a lot more than that. Got mine at Trotac in Victoria.
