Default Query: Trim Gauge on 99 Larson I/O


"Inno" wrote in message
ups.com...
My recently bought 99 Larson LXi 186 has a trim gauge that does not
move at all but is stuck fully up. The trim controls seem to work just
fine but as a new boater I would like to be able to use the gauge.

Any ideas on what I should be looking for to make the gauge work?

Any ideas on how to fix would be much appreciated!



From what I understand there is a sending unit in the outdrive that
sometimes goes bad and can easily be replaced. JamesGang, Trainfan or Clams
may want to confirm this.



Also my speedo only works at higher speeds, needle just sits there
until the speed is over 20 mph.



Not unusual. You may want to blow out the line from the speedo to the pitot
tube attached to your lower transom just to make sure it is not obstructed.
