Trim Gauge Test
STEP 1
Turn key switch ON. Using a voltmeter, check for
voltage between the trim gauge “I” and “G” termi-
nals.
•
If no voltage, check condition of instrument har-
ness, key switch, and engine 20 A fuse.
•
If voltage is shown, go to
STEP 2
.
STEP 2
Remove th e white/t an lead fro m the trim gau ge
“S” terminal. With key switch ON, gau ge shou ld
indicate full-trim DOWN position. Now connect a
jumper wire between terminals “S” and “G.” Gauge
should indicate full-trim UP position.
•
If results are different, replace the trim gauge.
•
If results agree, refer to
Trim Sender Test
.
Trim Sender Test
IMPORTANT:
To avoid immedia te me ter dam-
age, never apply an ohmmeter to an electrical cir-
cuit where voltage is present.
Disconnect the 3-pin connector betwee n the
instrument harness and engine trim harness.
Connect an ohmmeter between the white/tan wire,
terminal “C,” of the en gine h arness and a clea n
engine ground.
With the outboard fully DOW N, meter must show
a reading above 80 ohms.
With the outb oard fully UP , meter must show a
reading below 10 ohms.
•
If result s agree, refer to
Trim Gauge Test
on
p. 351.
•
If results are different, replace trim sender.
