Will a tilt and trim from a 1978 evinrude 70 hp fit a 1985 evinrude 60 hp?

I did some looking into this and found two things.

First, OMC seems to have never changed the design of the tilt trim system from year to year. It worked, so why try fixing it?

The second is, the same tilt trim is used on 60 thru 115 horse motors.

So yes, the tilt trim from your old 70 hp motor will fit your new 60 hp one.
