My Gen II is under construction right now, as many of you know. A couple months ago, I noticed my trim gauge stopped working. No big deal, I thought, to the trained ear, you can hear the audible difference when still trimming and when it has reached its limit. I noticed that one of the wires to the trim limit sender (starboard) was broken. Trim still worked fine, the gauge did not, which I am really not concerned about. Well, in the process of removing outdrive, the wires to the trim senders were so corroded they crumbled into many small pieces.
Now to my question: how relevant are they? Is this something I NEED to fix, or is it just for the gauge? I know I should fix it, but I would hate to shell out another $100, wait another week for them to come in, and then replace them before I can take my boat out. I noticed that it is easiest to replace them with outdrive off, but I was planning on putting outdrive back on tomorrow or Saturday, depending on how things go. All this beautiful 90 degree weather, and I can't even take my boat out. This is making me sick!!
