Trim Control Rubber Boot?

[isaacvz]

There used to be a rubber boot completely covering the trim control on the throttle arm. Can’t find what it’s called, much less if anyone still makes it. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Going to be hard to find as it's not available any longer but you should be looking for VP number 3857772 though it's a kit, https://marinepartseurope.com/en/de...tiongroup=controls&header=control, side mount

Help. Can’t find this neutral throttle button

Does anyone know where I can find this button? I have a 1997 Monterey 4.3gl Volvo penta. I need this white button.

Ah, I didn’t even realize the gear control also has a rubber cover. Need one for the trim control up top, probably also in a kit. I’ll look for diagrams.

Well this got more important, the trim randomly goes down....this time when driving.

Do you know if it is going down electrically powering up the pump or hydraulically such as maybe a leak someplace?

Most of the time when the drive goes down underway, the piston seals are leaking.

Easy to test for

Electrically, I heard it happen, and when I disconnect the battery, all is fine.

I also was getting my cover repaired this spring and it rained pretty good while that was happening....and obviously there's no rubber cover to protect it anymore.

Nope, electrical. Disconnecting the battery stopped it. When we were out yesterday, you could hear it trying while we were just sitting. If I messed with the control, it stopped.

Possibly either the trim handle button is sticking, or I've seen a few where the trim system wiring at/behind the shift control unit 'white wiring "plastic plug connector" was laying on the bottom submerged in water at times and had corroded out enough that the down wire was getting power in turn lowering the stern drive plus killing the battery.

Sounds good, I'll pop open the handle maybe later today, and try to see back there from the dash.

I don't like it, but this looks like it would work, as no matter what the issue is, I don't want that switch exposed to the elements anymore.

If the source of the issue is indeed the remote handle trim control switch you'd be better served installing a divorced trim control switch

This of course requires cutting/splicing wires and new switch

Oof. That would be a bummer, but sounds good.
