    Another trim ?

    Sometimes the trim switch on the shift handle doesn't want to trim down. The up side always works and the bow and motor mounted switches always work for both up and down.

    Is it possible to clean the contacts or something in the handle switch? Or does it sound like the switch is about shot? If so, about how much do they cost? It may be better to just put a switch on the steering wheel.

    Sounds like the switch has had it.

    The Bomb part number is 176530 and includes the handle for $33.95.

    I have cleaned them and greased the contacts and they would work good for a while but for the money I just change em and go now!!
