Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this kit fits my engine?
A: This kit is designed for MerCruiser MC-I, R, MR, Alpha One, Alpha One Gen II (1991 and newer), and Bravo stern drives. The most reliable method is to match your existing part number to one of the direct replacements listed, such as 805320A03 or 18-7633.
Q: What are the symptoms of a failing trim sender?
A: Common signs include an erratic or non-functional trim gauge on your dashboard, or the trim motor not stopping at the correct upper or lower limits. This can be caused by corrosion or internal failure of the sender or limit switch.
