    Trim Guage not working?

    How does someone determine if the guage is broke or the trim sensor is bad?

    My guauge does not move.

    I don't know about other motors, but I have a Yamaha and the trim sensor is a plastic piece that is located at the engine where it pivots up and down and I have had to replace mine from it being cracked in half. Hopefully it's just the plastic trim sensor.

    I ordered mine from a Skeeter dealer, and they shipped it out to me.

    If you got a yamaha, call any yamaha dealer.. if you have a Merc, call any Merc dealer or order it of the Merc website. Even though the gauge pack may say Skeeter on them, its still a generic sender for your engine.

    Re: Trim Guage not working? (boostedone)

    Thanks everyone.
    My 2004 Trim Sensor is a 2 componet system. Part 1 is the wired (electrical) component with Stem and Part 2 is a thin plastic clamp ring with a stem sticking off it. As it turns out from eveyone's help, I was able to quickly determine the problem.
    1 turned on power to boat
    2 moved steering wheel where I could see guage
    3 Located part A with wires and stem
    4 used finger to move stem up and down
    5 Guage worked!
    6 thin plastic clamp with stem was just rotating around in circles!
    7 Need to call dealer and order part.

    Cabelas In KC has them for 2.50 each

    I found them at a local dealer. I bought 2 for $5. Cheap fix and I have a spare.
