Don't throw your back out tilting your motor. The Adjustable Outboard Motor Tilter uses simple leverage to make this a much more pleasant task. It's adjustable to fit the shrouds of outboards with handholds, and it's compact enough for easy storage. All contact points are coated to protect the finish on your motor.
This product was a life saver for my lower back, it works great on my 1974 50 HP Evinrude Outboard. Now, even my 13 Year old can help and safely tilt the engine up or down with ease. I love it and would reccommend it to anyone not fortunate enough to have a power tilt.
I bought this thinking that it was "universal" in usage but found out that the handle on the motor shroud is way too far down for the tilter to be able to clip onto. So it is useless. Make sure you know where the handle is on the shroud before you buy this. I have not found any tilter that will fit my new 25HP Mercury outboard 4-stroke motor.
