Ok I bought boat used and gauge never worked put new gauge in it and sender if the sender is not on motor gauge reads but with it bolted up it will not move but about 1/4 inch on gauge trim all the way up to second stage. Is there anyway the guy before me put the wrong pin that moves the trim tab in any help would be great
i installed sender 8m0098273

At the end of the TRIM range (length of the short trim rams), the gauge will normally read 1/4-1/3 range. The remainder of the gauge is for the TILT range.
Are you sure this isn't what you are experiencing?

Check the tri-lobe pin that retains the slotted cross-pin. It may be missing or broken.

The pin that is in it looks like it goes all the way threw the bracket and has a bolt to trim motor. And the sender rides in the pin unless there is another spacer our something that is missing??Originally Posted by EuropeanAM

The tri-lobe pin looks like a big nail- it goes through the tilt cylinder eyelet AND through the slotted crosspin.

The slotted cross pin seams to be moving it the tri lube pin able to be pulled out toward the front of the boat and canthe cross pin put in backwards?

The slotted cross pin 26 in the diagram is moving I can see it rotate counter clockwise when I lower the motor.can the cross pin be put in wrong like 180 out? It does not look like it can.the tri-lobe pin be pulled out toward the front of the boat it does not appear to be the cause due to slotted cross pin is moving.

Normally will not make a difference which of the two 180 degree apart points you are at, but there's no harm in trying (if you can remove the trilobed pin). Pin is really considered a one-time use item (technically).

Check the tilt cyld ram is turned the rite way. Had that happen.
Very good point- Rick. Suspect you may be right as the trilobe pin usually is driven in from the AFT (rear) side (Post #11 makes it sound like he has it driven in from the forward/front side).

slot on cross pin should go to stbd side and should not move when tri lobe pin is installed, drive in from rear

That is how it is installed

Ok the pin does not move the motor moves and makes it look like the pin moves.
but is there a chance the tilt ram bracket is on backwards will that change the cross pin at all?
