TOPIC: Merc 850 Tilt Mechanism

Original post by: Skipperswitz

I recently acquired a Dorsett Catalina from my good friend Richard Young (Camano Island). Unfortunately, Richard passed away last Fall (cancer) and I'm trying to tie up a few loose ends. Most notable is the whereabouts of the boat's tilt mechanism. Richard had recently installed a Merc 850 and I was told the unit was removed to have a leak repaired. Unfortunately, no one in his family seems to know where he might have sent the unit for repair. His wife mentioned Thom's name, so I'm starting my search with this note.
I would appreciate any assistance locating the unit. I can be reached at (360)631-0969. I'm new to the forum and this is my first call for help. Please excuse if I've violated protocol in my search.

Him and that stethoscope I think he only breaks it out when he thinks someone will take a picture!!!
