    1988 3.0 and 1994 3.0 swap

    Well it's official I'm going to be converting to the 4.3. The engine bay area is actually a few inchs bigger in my boat then it is in the boat that the 4.3 is in now.

    Quicksilver 3000 Classic w/trailering button: Replacement options

    I just purchased this to replace my commander 3000 as well. To answer your question yes the trailer switch is built into the up trim switch lightly push for trim up and it takes a good hard push for trailer trim up also it uses the new style cables so you would have to replace the cables
