I replaced the solenoid a year ago which resolved an intermittent issue with trim in general.
I believe that the switch config required trim up and trailer to be depressed at the same time to trailer.
I jumpered the leads at the pump and now I am able to trim up and trailer.
I'll consider the...
I do have a wiring diagram and some of it makes sense.
I think the way it is supposed to work is Trim up uses the switch to stop trim travel, and the Trailer switch bypasses the limiting switch. At least this scenario makes sense to me.
The switch is supposed to be normally closed, however...
Update: When I jumper the two wires at the pump that lead to the switch, closing the circuit, trim up and trim down work. Trailer still doesn't work though.
This is a common issue, however my gear is uncommon and the recommendations don't apply.
69 Star Chief with Mercruiser 120. Unlike later versions, this outdrive has a single (travel limiting?) switch inside the gimbal. As the bell housing rotates up it will contact/depress the switch. Later...
The trick is to determine if the 65532 is interchangeable with the 45514 unit. It looks the same.
I'll have to take detailed photos of mine an compare to these 65532 versions.
Thank for the research on Ebay.
Any thoughts on if this would be compatible with the MC-1 transom plate? I don't really need the gimbal ring or bell housing.
I have a 1969 MC-1 120 that I would like/need to replace the gimbal transom plate.
The parts manual for this series lists the part number as 45702A1. Any hints as to where I might find this part and/or are there ways to identify gimbal transom plates that are interchangeable with this?
I've...
Well looking at it in the light of day, and after denying the damage the past several months, it looks grim.
Here's some pics I just took. Clearer is always better and I can try if necessary. ##$&()&*#!
So assuming worst case scenario, what are my options? Entire used Alpha 1 Gen 1 unit? Any...
