Wires on trim posn sender frayed.

[Simoniz]

The wires leading to my trim position indicator (A1G2) are frayed.
I’ve not removed the cover yet, but if I do, can I trim the wires and re attach them?
There seems to be plenty of length of wire.

best option it to replace them and do a mod to the wiring of the trim gauge to keep the constant power off the sender until needed, 2 diodes and a little adaptation of the wiring . Thats why the trim sender side always goes bad before the trim limit side

Not much success in trying to re-connect the wires. It is best to replace the sender altogether.

I was able to reconnect mine and cover with shrink sleeve. Best if you can solder the wires together and then shrink sleeve over or use a low temp solder butt splice

I've gotten two seasons so far just by peeling the insulation back to where it still was solid and then gave the wire several coats of liquid tape.

I keep nursing mine with liquid electrical tape also. I've done this for maybe 5 years now. Hoping to buy time until bellows etc. need attention. Some say, with the right tools, they can be replaced without removing the bell housing. Haven't tried that yet

Fantastic tips. I didn't even know liquid insulating tape was a thing, but have now ordered some.
