I have an boat that I'm getting ready for the water. I have a 78 Johnson 115 that I have running pretty well. The boat had no instruments in it so I'm putting together a gauge cluster. Doing ok so far but the used trim gauge I've installed works perfectly accept that it reads up when the motor is down and vise versa. I have tried all different combinations of wiring the sender and gauge wires thinking it's a polarity issue, it works only one way and that's backassword. The other thing is that the trim works even when the key is out of the ignition, nothing else works that way just the trim. This could be an intentional feature to allow for raising and lowering the motor conveniently while trailored? I don't know.
Also the other gauges and lighting are working properly with the ignition on or off.
Thanks again.....Bill
