On the right side of my merc 40 engine, facing it from the rear, is an
UP/DOWN rocker switch. Is this a power trim? Didn't see if it worked
when I had the motor running, and today when I pulled the cowling looking
for engine SN, I noticed some wires had been disconnected there.

Right now, I figure by the engine number that it is an '89 ELPTO.
(Electric Start, Long Shaft, Power Trim, Oil Injected)

Thanks.

If it's on the cowling, it's most likely an electric/hydraulic system to
tilt the leg up. Check on your throttle and see if there is another switch.
If it has one, it can be used to trim while underway.
