Installing a new tilt/trim gauge

[richard99]

Greetings, all - <br />I have a 1986 Four Winns Freedom 160 with Merc 3.0 and Alpha One. This outdrive has both trim limit and tilt/trim sender, but didn't come with a tilt/trim gauge on the panel. I'd like to install one. It appears to be just the two wires from the sender, and maybe a power tap. Can anyone verify that it's this simple? <br /><br />Thanks in advance!

Yes it is that simple. Just make sure you get the wire dirgram and the right gauge for you drive. I just put one on my boat and took me about 30 min because i had to drill hole

Thanks very much for your response.<br />Another question for the group, if I may - I've found a Mercury trim gauge on Ebay that was used on a Merc 150 outboard. Would everything still be the same as far as the wiring requirements?<br /><br />Thanks in advance - Rich
