Examining Tilt/Trim Switches

[Avocado Isle]

I need to check the condition of my tilt & trim switches but there seems to be no obvious way to remove & disassemble the Quicksilver throttle control to get to the switches without breaking something. I'm sure there is a trick to it but I can't find any diagrams, etc. Can anyone help?<br /><br />The control is a Quicksilver Classic 300 (3000?) on a '97 Mercruiser 5.7LX Bravo II<br /><br />TIA<br /><br />- David

Pry out the round "throttle only" button. Be careful doing this, they like to break! Remove the brass nut with a socket and the handle will pull off. Remove the screw on the back of the red plastic piece and you have your access to the switches and wires for your trim & tilt system. Good luck
