CMC PT-35 Hydraulic Tilt and Trim

CMC PT-35 Electric Hydraulic Tilt and Trim for Outboards up to 35HP

Upgrade the performance and handling of small outboards with the CMC PT-35 Electric Hydraulic Tilt & Trim. Designed specifically for motors up to 35 HP, this compact unit delivers smoother control, faster planing, and better overall efficiency for jon boats, aluminum fishing boats, inflatables, and other lightweight setups.

With instant hydraulic response, the PT-35 give you precise trim adjustment at any speed - improving lift, reducing drag, and creating a more stable ride in a wide range of water conditions.

Enhanced Control, Better Performance

The PT-35 helps small boats feel more responsive and easier to operate. By adjusting motor angle on the fly, you can:

• Get on plane faster, even with heavier loads
• Improve top-end speed & fuel efficiency
• Reduce bow rise and porpoising for a smoother ride
• Run more confidently in shallow water by quickly tilting the motor up
• Protect the lower unit when approaching hazards or trailering

For boaters who frequent rivers or shallow lakes, the added maneuverability is a game changer!

Powerful Electric-Hydraulic Performance

The PT-35 uses a fully self-contained electric-hydraulic actuator that delivers strong, reliable lifting power without external pumps or hoses. With wide trim and tilt travel, you get full control over your motor angle whether you're taking off, cruising, fishing, or navigating skinny water.

The system is engineered for years of dependable use, with high-strength aluminum construction and corrosion-resistant components suited for both freshwater and saltwater environments.

Lightweight, Compact, and Easy to Install

Despite its lifting power, the PT-35 is a lightweight unit that mounts easily to most small outboards - whether clamp-on or bolt-on. Its compact design fits a wide variety of transoms, making it a popular upgrade for:

• Jon boats
• Aluminum fishing boats
• Tiller-steer outboards
• Inflatable boats
• Small skiffs and utility boats

No specialized rigging or hydraulic plumbing is required. Boaters with basic tools can typically install the unit themselves.

CMC PT-35 Tilt & Trim FAQs

What size outboard is the CMC PT-35 designed for?

The CMC PT-35 Electric Hydraulic Tilt & Trim is designed for small outboards rated up to 35 HP. It is a great match for lightweight rigs such as jon boats, aluminum fishing boats, inflatables, small skiffs, and other similar setups. For larger or heavier engines, a different tilt and trim unit with a higher rating is recommended.

Will the PT-35 work with clamp-on and bolt-on outboards?

Yes. The PT-35 is designed to work with most small clamp-on and bolt-on outboards as long as the transom provides enough flat mounting area for the unit. Always verify the mounting footprint and clearances against your transom before installation.

Can I install the CMC PT-35 myself?

Many boaters with basic tools and experience are able to install the PT-35 themselves. The unit is fully self-contained, so there are no external pumps or complex hydraulic lines to plumb. However, installation still requires safely lifting and supporting the outboard, aligning the PT-35 on the transom, and following the wiring instructions. If you are not comfortable with this type of work, a qualified marine technician can handle the installation.

Is the PT-35 suitable for saltwater use?

Yes. The PT-35 is built with high-strength aluminum and corrosion-resistant components, making it suitable for both freshwater and saltwater use. As with any equipment used in saltwater, rinsing the unit with fresh water after use and performing regular inspections will help maximize service life.

What comes with the CMC PT-35 kit?

Each CMC PT-35 package typically includes one hydraulic PT-35 unit, one wire assembly with toggle switch, and one switch plate with rubber boot. Always review the product listing and documentation to confirm the exact contents before installation.
