Bob'S Machine Tilt/Trim Motors

Bob's Machine Action Series Tilt & Trim: Power and Control for Your Outboard

For boaters running outboards that didn't come from the factory with tilt and trim capability, Bob's Machine has long been the go-to name for an aftermarket solution that genuinely delivers. Their tilt/trim motors fall under the well-regarded Action Series lineup — a purpose-built, all-in-one hydraulic system engineered to bring push-button motor control to boats that otherwise lack it.

What Makes the Action Series Stand Out

Combining tilt and trim in one unit, the Bob's Machine Action Series works perfectly on outboards without factory tilt and trim. Rather than patching together separate components, boaters get a complete, integrated hydraulic assembly that simplifies the installation process and reduces potential failure points.

The Action Series Tilt and Trim is an all-in-one unit with easy rigging, and its hydraulic operation can provide increased performance, better handling, and less hassle raising and lowering the motor at the launch ramp. That last point is especially appreciated by anglers who regularly trailer their boats — no more struggling with a manual tilt every time you hit the ramp.

Performance Specs That Matter on the Water

The engineering behind the Action Series is focused on real, on-water results. When fully trimmed in, it provides a -3° tuck-under angle for faster starts and quicker on-plane times; after reaching plane, you can optimize the boat for the best running angle by trimming the tilt up to its maximum of 75°. That's a wide, functional range that lets skippers dial in their running attitude for varying conditions, loads, and water surfaces.

Bob's Machine also offers a BIA bolt-pattern version of the Action Series designed for motors up to 115hp, making tilt and trim accessible not just to small-boat owners but to a much broader range of outboard setups. A 5½-inch setback is standard on the clamp-on models, helping optimize motor position right out of the box.

Everything Included, Ready to Rig

Bob's Machine doesn't leave you hunting for hardware. Each unit comes complete with a trim plate, wiring harness, relays, and a rocker-style control switch. The result is a genuinely plug-and-play installation that most mechanically inclined boaters can handle themselves without a trip to the marina service department.

Backing it all up is a warranty that reflects Bob's confidence in their build quality. The Action Series carries a manufacturer's lifetime limited structure warranty and a 5-year action pump warranty. That kind of coverage is rare in aftermarket marine hardware and speaks to the durability of the design.

Built by a Brand That Knows Marine Performance

Bob's Machine has earned a strong reputation among performance boaters and anglers for producing rugged, reliable jack plates, trim components, and marine hardware designed to help improve speed, fuel efficiency, and control. Boat owners appreciate Bob's Machine parts for their precise fit, corrosion-resistant finishes, and ability to withstand the rigors of everyday use in both freshwater and saltwater environments.
