Does anyone know where i can buy cheap an electric tilt and trim kit for a 50HP outboard engine, or does anyone have or know of an outboard being broken for spares.

Bill Higham in Manchester or close to anyway. He has a web site I think. Last time I was there was a few years ago, but he has this huge warehouse full of broken engines waiting for someone to call him and ask for a widget.

Thanks

Hi Pete

I tried them and they have not got one available, so i'll keep looking, its a luxury item and not an essential so if i could rip one of a scraped engine for a few quid then great but new they cost loads.
