    150 4s trim sensor

    Sn: 2B174116

    If a trim sensor is faulty wouldn't it be erratic?? I'm assuming it's a magnetic transducer with either 0-5 or 0-10vdc linear range.. With an angle finder I'm only getting 16* full range. Tracker did have to repair the transom and surely to goodness they would have gone in and reduced the trim angle. I could order a new sensor but that's $60. Or can sensor go bad and seem to work fine!

    If any one can verify that it is 0-5vdc I suppose 20* would be be 20% and that should equal 1vdc, I could check the voltage at the trim limit to know if it's a sensor or pcm. Any one know where I could get the information?

    Need to get a Dealer to do this on the CDS (Computer Diagnostic System). Orientation of that sensor is very critical.

    It's definitely a 5V sensor, BTW.
