electric trim (add-on)


Recommended Posts

This is probably a long shot...but I was thinking..... Has anyone ever heard of any aftermarket universal electric trim kits for an outboard motor. I have a 30hp Suzuki and it sure would be nice to have a little assistance to get her out of the water at times when motoring through the shallows and such. I couldn't find much on the internet regarding this and I like this motor too much to trade it off for a new one with the bells and whistles.

I'd try contacting a dealership. Maybe a Suzuki dealer would have something for you. Or a marine repair shop of some sort.

I looked into a unit for my older Johnson 25 a few years ago. It was an aftermarket unit that could not be used when the motor as under throttle or it would bend the lift rod. It was pretty spendy too, so I decided against it. Check with a dealer to see if you can add tilt to your motor.

I think I have seen adds for things like this. You might try looking in Bass and Walleye Boat magizine. I bet they weill have an add for someone that can set ya up.

Do a web search for Cook Manufacturing Corporation. They have what you're looking for. They may be a bit on the spendy side, but in the aftermarket world of jack plates, TnT's and set-backs, there are none finer.

HELLO CLAM,
I RECENTLY INSTALLED AN AFTERMKT TRIM KIT ON MY 1984 50HP MERC. WORKS LIKE A SONG.
BRAND IS CMC. AVAILABLE AT MOST LARGER STORES. CABELAS, BASS PRO SHOPS.
THEY MAKE 2 SIZES WITH A 30 HORSE YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH THE SMALLER OF THE 2.
I LOOKED FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS BEFORE I PULLED THE TRIGGER ON THIS ONE AND AM VERY PLEASED WITH IT. GOOD LUCK, WALTER.

I've had a CMC mount on my boat for 8 years, works great, only issue was I had to replace the brushes on the trim motor after 2nd year.

      With the early ice out, how is the curlyleaf pondweed doing?

      On the south end...   The big basin, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  Zippel Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  Everything is shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. With the walleye / sauger season currently closed, most anglers are targeting sturgeon and pike.  Some sturgeon anglers are fishing at the mouth of the Rainy River, but most sturgeon are targeted in Four Mile Bay or the Rainy River.  Hence, pike are the targeted species on the south shore and various bays currently.   Pike fishing this time of year is a unique opportunity, as LOW is border water with Canada, the pike season is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. Back bays hold pike as they go through the various stages of the spawn.  Deadbait under a bobber, spinners, spoons and shallow diving crankbaits are all viable options.   Four Mile Bay, Bostic Bay and Zippel Bay are all small water and boats of various sizes work well. On the Rainy River...  Great news this week as we learned sturgeon will not be placed on the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.     The organization had to make a decision by June 30 and listing sturgeon could have ended sturgeon fishing.  Thankfully, after looking at the many success stories across the nation, including LOW and the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing and successful sturgeon management continues.   A good week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  Speaking to some sturgeon aficionados, fishing will actually get even better as water temps rise.     Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River near the Wheeler's Point Boat Ramp is still producing good numbers of fish, as are various holes along the 42 miles of navigable Rainy River from the mouth to Birchdale.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  A few spots with rotten ice, but as a rule, most of the Angle is showing off open water.  In these parts, most are looking ahead to the MN Fishing Opener.  Based on late ice fishing success, it should be a good one.

      Nice fish. I moved to the Sartell area last summer and just thought it was windy like this everyday up here? 🤭

      Crazy windy again today.... This is has been the norm this spring. Between the wind and the cold fronts, fishing has been more challenging for me than most years.  Panfish have been moving in and out of the shallows quite a bit. One day they are up in the slop, the next they are out relating to cabbage or the newly sprouting lilly pads.  Today eye guy and I found them in 4-5 ft of water, hanging close to any tree branches that happened to be laying in the water.  Bigger fish were liking a 1/32 head and a Bobby Garland baby shad.   Highlight of the day way this healthy 15incher
