hi monte
if you dont want to replace the switches i cant blame you,there is a way around this but i caution you to ck your u joint bellows if it needs replacing then replace the switches at the same time.look inside your engine compartment towards the stern of the boat,located on the inner transom plate there will be 4 wires colored black2 will go to the engine harness hooked to a grnd and the other to a brown w/wht tracer this is your trim sender wires for your gauge,the other 2 wires will go to a harness at your trim pump they attach via bullet connecters to 2 some times purple wires.simply disconnect trim limit wires and make a jumper wire and connect 2 wires from the trim pump harness this will bypass your trim limit switch.just beware when you are trimming boat under way the drive will no longer stop at the specified ram dimension.
hope this helps hbmtr
