Trim and tilt switch?

Featured Replies

I would like to add a toggle switch on the bow panel of my Procraft 175 to trim the motor.I am thinking i will need a three post switch with the middle post being a hot wire. Does anyone know where to tap in to the wires on mercury control to make this work?- Sorry for the long post.

ok you will probably have to take the throttle off your side panel, and there will be three wires one will be red one will be green and one will be blue that run to your tilt and trim switch on you throttle, you will have to splice those 3 wires and then run your 3 new wires to your new switch. your right about the 3 prong switch, red will go to the center(you hot wire) then green to the top(your trim up wire) then blue to the bottom(your trim down wire). its pretty simple except taking off your throttle

Thanks - Now if i can figure out how to get the control of.

like i said thats the hardest part. but you might be able to just take off a piece of you side panel or you might be able to find them by looking in some of you storage boxes

Being able to trim your motor from the casting deck is great.  A lot of times when I am in the shallows using the TM, you dont have to do the bass boat ballet to the cockpit to trim it out.  Great addition to the boat!!!
