I did for about a year. My trim motor housing rusted out and water got in the motor shorting it out. I took the trim unit off and set it with the pins like any other outboard. I used it in the marsh and had to clear it sometimes and the length of the tiller was just right to almost hit my bench seat when I would slam down on it to kick the motor up. It was too much of a pain in the rear to clear it like that so I just grabbed the back of the cowling to help it a little.
