I've been getting some erratic jumping on my trim gauge lately, generally in when in reverse. I took a look at the sensor and wiring today, and it appears the wires have been pinched by the drive. At least one of the three wires has had its insulation torn so the conductor is exposed.
What I'm wondering is if it would be appropriate to remove the wiring from the transom, cut and resolder, and re insulate the wires? I would rather not replace the whole assembly as it is $200+ for the Volvo penta part and my guess is the sensor itself is perfectly fine as it is working 95% of the time. Thoughts?
