How to Rewire a Cook CMC PT-130

A power tilt and trim system is a system that automatically can lift or lower the tilt of an outboard boat motor. Without a power tilt and trim system, all engine tilt adjustments must be made by hand after the boat has stopped. The PT-130 is a power tilt trim system manufactured by Cook Manufacturing Corporation. If repairs or renovations are ever made on the boat, the power tilt system may need to be disconnected.
