How to Match This Part
This aftermarket 2-wire power trim kit replaces MerCruiser / Mercury 805320A03. It covers one sterndrive: the trim-position sender (gauge) and the trim-limit switch. It is the analog 2-wire kit for one drive.
Match this part in this order:
1. OEM number — 805320A03, 805320A1, 96863A15, 88678A4, 63115A12, or 17693A2
2. Drive family — MC-I, R, MR, Alpha One, Alpha One Gen II, or Bravo
3. System type — analog 2-wire trim gauge / limit circuit
The port switch is the trim limit; the starboard switch feeds the trim gauge. Both are replaced together as one kit for a single drive.

Compatible Engine Models
Confirm your drive model before ordering. On MerCruiser sterndrives, identify the drive family on the drive itself — not on an outboard transom serial plate. Cross-check with the Mercury Parts Diagrams for your MerCruiser drive group.

Installation Guide
1
Disconnect the battery. Support the drive. Replacement typically requires drive and bell-housing access — follow the MerCruiser service manual for your drive. Special hinge-pin tools may be required.
2
Note wire routing. Remove the old port (limit) and starboard (gauge) switches from the gimbal ring. Compare the OEM number to 805320A03.
3
Install the new switches in the same port/starboard positions. Do not pinch leads in the gimbal. Use adaptor jumpers only if your harness still uses ring terminals.
4
Reconnect the battery. Confirm the trim gauge moves with drive angle and that the trim button stops at the limit while the trailer button still raises the drive. Adjust the limit only as specified in the service manual.
Note: Professional installation is recommended to ensure safety and optimal performance.
