I am researching connecting up an manual tilt yamaha 8hp to a 200hp yamaha main that is controlled with a hydraulic seastar ram.
Rollie has been very helpful in putting me on to this track. After walking the docks today I did see this system and another used by Gord Gavin of Sea Ghost charters.
I am trying to keep the motor in 1 pc if possible and noted that Sea Ghost has a side mounted ram as opposed to the center mounted unit that others have used.
I am worried that the manual tilt will be an issue with the front mount cylinder as you have to cut the transom bracket to allow room for the front mount unit.
Has anyone have any experience with this? Can I use the side mount unit (on the kicker) with a liquid tie bar and the front mount on the 200?
sorry for the upside down shot left hander running the I phone
