How to Match This Part

This aftermarket trim position sensor replaces Mercury / Mariner / Quicksilver 888590002 (and the earlier number 888590). It mounts on the Verado swivel-bracket / cradle area and reports outboard trim angle to the engine controls and instrumentation.

Match this part in this order:
1. Number on the sensor you remove — 888590002 or 888590
2. Engine family — Mercury or Mariner Verado inline-six (6-cylinder) four-stroke outboard, 200–300 HP
3. Serial number on the engine ID plate / midsection bracket against the compatibility notes, then compare the two-hole sensor face and corrugated harness with the product images

Four-cylinder Verado and other outboard families use different sender numbers — confirm the stamped OEM number before ordering.

Part Number Cross-Reference

Use these verified Mercury numbers to confirm you have the correct Verado trim position sensor. Brand names and OEM numbers are for identification only.

Type Brand Part Number Notes
OEM Mercury / Mariner / Quicksilver 888590002 Current trim position sensor
OEM Mercury / Mariner 888590 Earlier number; superseded by 888590002

This is an aftermarket part manufactured by JLM Marine. It is not sold as a genuine Mercury Marine, Mariner, or Quicksilver component.

Compatible Engine Models

Confirm your Mercury or Mariner Verado inline-six outboard below. Find the serial number on the engine identification plate / midsection bracket, then use Mercury Parts Diagrams for the mount-cradle sensor callout.

Brand Engine Family Rated HP Serial / Notes
Mercury / Mariner Verado 6-cylinder 4-stroke 200, 225, 250, 275 Covered OEM where-used blocks include 0P409357–2B144122 family ranges and 1B227000 & Up — confirm your serial on the parts diagram
Mercury / Mariner Verado 6-cylinder 4-stroke 300 Covered OEM where-used blocks include 0P520553–2B144122 and 1B517434 & Up — confirm serial before ordering

Always match the number on the sensor you remove. If your Verado uses a different trim sensor PN (for example later Pro Verado black sensors), this listing is not the correct replacement.

Installation Guide

  1. 1Turn the ignition off and disconnect the negative battery cable before working on trim wiring or the cradle-mounted sensor.
  2. 2Trim the outboard fully in (full down). Note connector orientation and harness routing on the old sensor before unplugging it.
  3. 3Remove the mounting screws and withdraw the old sensor from the mount cradle. Compare the new unit side by side — two-hole face, harness length, and connector should match.
  4. 4Install the new sensor on the cradle and tighten the fasteners to the torque values in your Mercury / Mariner Verado service manual.
  5. 5Route the corrugated harness clear of moving parts, mate the connector until it latches, and reconnect the battery.
  6. 6Power up and verify smooth trim travel from full in to full out. Perform any trim-position adaptation or calibration required by your engine’s service procedure after sensor replacement.

Note: Professional installation is recommended for Verado trim position sensors.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this fits my Verado? +

Start with the number on the sensor you remove. If it reads 888590002 or 888590, and your engine is a Mercury or Mariner Verado 6-cylinder four-stroke in the 200–300 HP range, match your serial to the compatibility table and the OEM parts diagram before ordering.

Does this replace both 888590 and 888590002? +

Yes. 888590002 is the current OEM number; 888590 is the earlier number it supersedes. Either stamp on a removed sensor points to this replacement family when the Verado fitment also matches.

Will this fit a 4-cylinder Verado? +

No. This listing is for six-cylinder Verado applications that use 888590002 / 888590. Four-cylinder Verado and later Pro Verado platforms may use different sensor part numbers.

Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? +

This is an aftermarket replacement manufactured by JLM Marine. It is not a genuine Mercury Marine, Mariner, or Quicksilver part. OEM numbers are listed only for cross-matching.

Important Notes

  • Verify the OEM number on your original sensor and your Verado serial against the compatibility table before ordering.
  • After replacement, complete any trim-position adaptation steps required by the Mercury / Mariner service procedure for your model.
  • This is an aftermarket replacement and is not a genuine Mercury Marine / Mariner / Quicksilver OEM component.
  • Professional installation is recommended for Verado trim position sensors.
