Post Swapping Manual trim for hydraulic on a Pro Drive
Hey yall i am looking at a 36 horse Pro Drive that has manually crank trim unfortunately, killer deal on the rig but not to enthused about the trim. Has anyone swapped this out for a power unit, and if so could you help me out with a little info on the price and how involved this process is i would appreciate it.

Its 475. Takes about an hour with two people. Pretty simple upgrade.

The trim wheel aint that bad. It kinda sux when you're stuck, but other than that you just set it and leave it alone. The power trim is nice, but it isn't gonna kill you if it takes a lil while to get your hands on it.

On my 32 PD, I swapped out my winch trim for hydraulic. It works great, you'll love it. I did have to grind down the brass bushings on each side of the main pin, about an 1/8 per bushing to make it fit inside the housing.
