Somewhere read about a person who used the lift (tilt and trim?) from an outboard motor for his. That is as far as I can tell you. ....

o.k, so you have installed a hydraulic cylinder. Pump and all?

The later models had a much improved hoist, we've never broken one of them, "Yet". ....

Frosty, I would think you could find a used lift kit for an outboard. They also has an electic set up for opening a gate. No idea who they would compare. You also might find a pump kit for hyd dump trailer. Boy that might be an over kill., ....
