Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this trim sender kit will fit my MerCruiser drive?
This kit is compatible with MerCruiser MC-I, R, MR, Alpha One, Alpha One Gen II, and Bravo stern drives that use analog instruments. Please check the "Compatible Engine Models" and "Part Number Cross-Reference" tables to confirm it replaces your specific part number.
My trim gauge is not reading correctly after installation. What should I do?
First, ensure all wiring connections are secure and correct. This kit is designed for analog gauges only; it will not work with digital systems. Verify that the sender and limit switch are mounted correctly and that the actuator moves freely.
What are the signs that my old trim sender is failing?
Common signs include an erratic or non-functional trim gauge, the gauge being stuck in one position, or intermittent readings. This indicates it may be time to replace the sender unit.
