Not power tilt, but... we have repowered our PDQ32 with Yamaha 9.9s that are specially built by Simyamaha, a place in Wisconsin.
https://www.simyamaha.com/outboards-1/t ... aha-model/ They take a long shaft tiller model and remove the tiller and add a remote throttle connection. It's available in 7 or 10 pin wiring, and they can build you a 7-to-10 pin converter if you want to support both (we had one side 10 pin and the other side 7 pin for some reason).

I installed a pair of the new engines with power tilt. Since the engines are a bit smaller I was able to raise the mount two inches using fiberglass over a piece of wood. With the 2 inch raised mount the tilt elemnts clear the water at rest but they still kiss the waves when underway. I was not happy with the wave contact so this year I will be altering the units to move the tilt system up in front of the motors. I will cut off the extended mounts so that they will no longer extend below the pods.

I have now modified my power tilts to relocate the cylinders up in front of the engines. A 1/4 inch three part line is used to pull the engine up. A 3/16 wire rope runs from the cylinder top pin location down through the transom and to the lower end of the cylinder to hold the engine down when in reverse. I have cut off the original extended mounts.
