- Single MerCruiser Mag 350 MPI w/ Bravo III
Hello - I have a 2005 260DA with a single Mag 350. The local yard just installed a brand new Bravo transom assembly (the old one was bad) as well as a brand new outdrive.
My trim gauge reads down all the time. The limit switch functions as it should and the drive trims properly with the up/down controller on the shifter. I know on the old analog gauges the puck needed to be twisted... but Smartcraft seems different. Is there some adjustment or calibration process so that I can get this thing to register a reading? Or is this a bad ground connection or something?
I checked and the two wires (one is male one is female) that plug into the engine harness are in fact plugged in.
I hope to not have to take the boat out of the water to do this as it's a long trip. They (local yard that did the job) did offer to send someone to the harbor to get in the water and shift the puck if necessary when it gets warmer in a few weeks but if there are things I can check on board I'd like to try.
