Hi, so the wires to my trim limit have pulled and rotted out
(shocking). I went the last half of the season carefully trimming with my trailor switch because with the limit wires out my upswitch will not work (correct?). My question is this, if I connect the two wires that went into the limit switch and close the circuit, should my upswitch on the throttle work again or is there something in the limit switch that makes it all happen? I can feel my way around and live without the limit aspect of things, but I need the up thumb button to work so my hand is not flying from throttle down to my trailor switch. Thanks |

Sounds like you figured out that shorting the wires lets the trim switch
work. The older versions of these can be disassembled. I replaced the wire on mine and it's worked for 5 years now. "KevD711" wrote in message oups.com...

Ya..... limit switches are no longer used anyway.......up and down will
suffice. -W "jamesgangnc" wrote in message ink.net... Sounds like you figured out that shorting the wires lets the trim switch work. The older versions of these can be disassembled.
