Hey there folks, I have a 2000 Seaswirl 195 BR with a 4.3 Volvo V6 and need to replace the original trim/tilt guage. When I recently bought the boat the previous owner had removed the guage in an attempt to find why it was not working and subsequently lost it. I ordered a new guage and sending unit and am led to believe that it is relatively simple to install/replace. There is however one little problem and that is - I am not at all mechanically minded! A local boat shop told me to remove the old sending unit by "unplugging" the unit's wires from behind the engine and ensuring that I tie a pull through wire to the end before pulling the sending unit out (this to ensure that I can pull the new sending unit wire back through the hole in the transom). Sounds fairly simple except for one issue that I foresee myself having a problem with and that is how to locate the so called "plug" at the back of the engine?!?! Any ideas out there or will it just be a good idea to have a marine tech do it for me?
