Need to rewire tilt and trim on Merc I/O. Is there a way to run the wires without taking off the lower unit and gimbal housing? Can't drill a hole through the transom to run the wires to the outside, the wires will get pinched when engine turns.
In my opion you have two options:
1> Reuse your old wires (cut solder/heat shrink) Works great, I just did mine.
2> Wait to change them the next time you have your drive off.

Can't do option 1, in some places, as soon as I touch the wire, everything crumbles, even the wire itselft. I have never seen wire and insulation coroded like this. I bypassed the tilt and trim and figured on following option 2. Thank you guys.
Replacing the switches can be done with a 12 inch 1/4 inch drive extension and a 7/16 swivel socket.Put the drive all the way down and you will be able to see the bolt that holds the wires into the transom plate.
