just installed a new OMC trim gauge and it is reading backwards. I double and tripled checked my wiring and it is correct. Any ideas? can the sending unit be reversed? Thanks<br />(85 Johnson 150hp) <br /><br /> :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Is your gauge the one that has an outline of a boat on the face or just lines to indicate up and down? Any writing?

it is the one with the up and down, and has a yellow area on top that says tilt. The backside body is orange.

ok, I figured it out. The one I bougt is for the omc cobra or inboard. The resistance is backwards from the outboards.
