Anyone know the part number for this tilt/trim control?

[Firewalker688]

It's the assembly of switches that I am needing. Maybe a bad way to title this. I have taken it apart and I would like to buy the trim switch and trailer button as a unit.

I know the last time I was here I stumbled across a thread that had a link to buy the switch assembly. For the life of me I can't locate it. I really wish I had replied to that thread then search my old stuff. I am getting 12 volts on the down but nothing on the trailer and tilt up.

Here is a pic and I am sorry to have to re ask this question. Thanks

It controls a 1981 50hp Mercury 4cyl if that is helpful

As good as the Crowley site is, I can't seem to find the category it would fall under. The three things I need to complete my restoration are: This tilt/trim switch....... A PTT motor.... a Prop. That's it!!! Pretty excited about this. Maybe the person who posted it last time will see this thread. Any further help is appreciated. Thanks for the reply Aussie

Wow! That's what I'm talking about! This site is awesome and I appreciate it. I see in the pic the tilt trim switch is in there. Is the "trailer" button included in this as well. Thank you so much for the response.

How do you check the tilt limit switch? Are you able to jump a wire around it to test? when I use a test light I only get signal to one of the three wires when I use the switch. I think it's the green one but I wouldn't swear to it. I hate to buy a PTT motor and find out it was a limit switch or solenoid that is giving me problems. Just not sure where to jump the wires to test without frying anything.

Thanks again for the help.

Wow, I had the same problem.

I took my switch apart and cleaned it and it works fine after having to find the tiny spring I dropped on the boat carpet. The contacts are not very heavy duty.

I'll have to pick one of those switches up too.
