T-H Marine Tilt/Trim Motors
T-H Marine CMC Tilt/Trim Motors: Electric Hydraulic Power for Your Outboard
T-H Marine has been engineering marine accessories since 1975, and their CMC-branded tilt and trim motors represent some of the most trusted aftermarket power trim solutions available for small to mid-size outboards. Established by Bill Huntley, T-H Marine has grown from a small, family-owned business into an industry leader known for its innovative products that enhance the boating experience for anglers, recreational boaters, and marine professionals worldwide. Their tilt/trim lineup carries that same legacy of durability and real-world practicality.
What Makes T-H Marine Tilt/Trim Motors Stand Out
A tilt/trim motor adjusts the angle of your outboard engine, changing the pitch of your boat in the water — which directly determines the smoothness of your ride, how well your boat grips the water, and your boat's ability to jump on a plane. T-H Marine's CMC series turns this critical function into a push-button convenience.
The T-H Marine CMC Power Tilt and Trim is built with heavy-duty aluminum construction and a waterproof 12V marine hydraulic system that is impervious to fresh and saltwater corrosion. These aren't lightweight afterthoughts — they're built for the demands of real fishing and recreational use across a full season.
CMC PT-35 and PT-130: Purpose-Built for Your Engine Size
T-H Marine offers CMC tilt/trim units scaled for different horsepower ranges. The CMC PT-35 is designed for smaller outboards, rated for 35 HP and smaller engines, and includes a wiring harness for a cleaner installation. The PT-35 features an electric hydraulic actuator rated at 7,853 lbs. of thrust — impressive muscle for a unit targeting compact outboards. For boaters running larger engines, the CMC PT-130 steps up to handle outboards up to 130 HP, delivering power tilt and trim, better boat handling, more speed, lower fuel consumption, and no more back strain.
Self-Contained Hydraulic Engineering
One of the defining engineering choices in T-H Marine's CMC trim units is their self-contained actuator design. The actuator incorporates the pump, motor, reservoir, and cylinder all in the same body — eliminating the need for multiple hydraulic components such as hoses, pumps, and cylinders. They are made of 100% non-ferrous materials, are totally submersible, and contain a no-leak seal and wiper that keeps dirt and water out of the working parts. The result is a clean, reliable installation that holds up in demanding on-water conditions.
A Legacy of Trim Innovation
T-H Marine also introduced the first foot-operated trim switch, the HOT TRIM, providing a safety feature that allows boaters to keep both hands on the wheel when driving at higher speeds. That spirit of practical innovation carries through to every CMC tilt/trim unit they produce. T-H Marine is a Tier 1 boat accessory manufacturer that supplies product to virtually every boat manufacturer in the United States and many abroad.
