Manual hydraulic hand pump tilt

[MARC BOUCHER]

Hi All,
Years ago, a friend of mine had a boat with a really neat hand pump engine tilt. Now that I am into boating, I would LOVE to get one of these for one of my antique boats. It appears to be something made by Arrow Machine in Hutchinson, KS. Does anyone have one for sale or know of any that are available? Right now when I go into shallow water I go to the rear of the boat and put a block of wood to prop the motor up, but I’d sure love to be able to do this without having to lift it like that!
Thanks in advance for any thoughts…
Marc

I agree that power tilt is super useful, and power trim is better yet.

Most of the aftermarket setups I’ve seen tip a bracket, so will work with any motor on that bracket.

I guess what I am looking for though is un-motorized… it was just hand powered… I’d love to keep my whole setup as simple as possible on all my boats…

Maybe what I am talking about is power trim – not sure I know the difference between power trim or tilt… I’m talking about being able to lift up the prop in shallow water so I don’t hit the rocks… This mechanism I am referring to would only be able to hold the pressure of a few MPH any more than that the force of the prop would push it back down, so you had to make sure you were going pretty slow (which is just fine when going in shallow water anyway).

Todd Young from Quincy, IL, had one at our meet in Camdenton, MO, in March. Don’t think it sold. It is a manual hydraulic pump to tilt motor.

You might be thinking of a Dole Fluid Power Products Model SP500 manufactured by Arrow Machine Inc. located in Hutchinson Kansas. Doing a Google search brings these up and photos on other forums.

YES! That’s it!!!!! Now I just need to find one. I don’t get to a lot of shows these days now that I live in Sault Ste. Marie (was easier when I lived in WI) but there is a good meet in Hessel in August, so that might be my best hope if I don’t find one on e-bay, but I’ll try! Thanks everyone!
