Power trim and tilt, about to find out with new rig, the motor not out yet but intend to get 30hpEtec, recommendation from couple of dealers due to back/leg mobility problems.

Good luck sure you will get lot of opinions.

Had electrics on my last boat, one ram shat itself in less than 12 months. Took 2 weeks for a replacement to get here was not happy! (10 knot forecast while the boat was out of action) Current boat has Hydraulics (Bennett) which were factory fitted 8 years ago and still going strong. Would definately buy Bennetts in the future though the QL's look interesting and could be tempted to give them a try.

Hey Chimo, A nice looking setup.
I voted the other way but thats by the by.Any chace of a photo from slightly above the duck board? I've been waiting for someone to post who had to cut a hole there to fit the ram in. I have short Bennetts but they still had to cut the boards. They filled the gap with white silicone but it has shrunk and looks npretty average. I,d love to see how yours looks , Cheers,
Brendan

There you go Brendan. I took a few a while ago for another AFer in WA who then fitted his own. If you want more sing out.

Cheers

Chimo, thanks very much mate. Top photos too.
Have you just left the space around the strut or filled it?
I think yours looks neater unfilled than mine does full of bog.
Thanks again
Brendan

The holes are as they were left after Lindsays guys did the instal. They did paint gell coat on the cut faces and how it is is fine with me.
