I have an idea

I have been tossing around the passivity of making a tilt and trim unit for my outboard. Has anyone ever tried to make one out of an electric actuator? I don't know if it will work or not but I've been thinking about it a lot lately

CMC makes one that a jack plate can go on.

But with building one I have never heard of someone doing that.

I have seen the cmc ones but they are like $700 and that's almost as much as I have in my whole motor

Oh I didn't know the price. That's up there.

What did you build this for to begin with? Fun? Have you looked into M.I.T.?
