Trim Gauge Test

STEP 1
Turn key switch ON. Using a voltmeter, check for
voltage between the trim gauge "I" and "G" termi-
nals.
If no voltage, check condition of instrument har-
•
ness, key switch, and engine 20 A fuse.
If voltage, go to STEP 2.
•
STEP 2
Remove the white/tan lead from the trim gauge
"S" terminal. With key switch ON, gauge should
indicate full-trim DOWN position. Now connect a
jumper wire between terminals "S" and "G."
Gauge should indicate full-trim UP position.
If results are different, replace the trim gauge.

If results agree, refer to Trim Sender Test.

Trim Sender Test

IMPORTANT:
age, never apply a multimeter to an electrical cir-
cuit where voltage is present.
Disconnect the 3-pin Deutsch connector between
the instrument harness and engine trim harness.
Connect an ohmmeter between the white/tan
wire, terminal "C," of the engine harness and a
clean engine ground.
With the outboard fully DOWN, meter must show
a reading above 80 Ω.
With the outboard fully UP, meter must show a
reading below 10 Ω.
If results agree, refer to Trim Gauge Test on
•
p. 372.
If results are different, replace trim sender.
