No I don't get 12 V when I press the switch up. I went and ran a wire temporarily from the Home switch and connected it to the trim limit switch and it worked. It only let me raise it for about 10 seconds, so perhaps it was out of adjustment. But you are right, apparently the purple wire from...

Thank you for that info. It appears I may have a wiring issue. If I put a test light on the purple wire in the back of the engine and apply a good 12 V from the switch, the test light does not come on. I verified that it is the correct purple wire by using a tone generator. I am not able to...

Hi Westie, I'm getting similar readings to those. 1 or 2 ohms trimmed down then ol as I trim up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I may not have been clear, sorry. I'm replacing the factory control because it's old and it seemed a new one with new cables are in order. At the same time I am attempting to repair the non-functional trim limit switch. As part of the troubleshooting process I have...

Hi, I tried to do all the research I could before asking but I'm stumped. I'm replacing the factory control which had a trim up and down switch n the throttle handle lever and if you pushed up further the trailer switch would engage. The trim up button didn't function on my boat when I bought...

Thanks for that. Definitely wishing I had a trailer for this sort of thing, I don't think a kayak will work. Probably have to wait until the next time I haul out for service.

Thanks again, I do appreciate it. I think you are correct, that is the standard anode and not the mercathode although I wonder what the fuse is for, will have to trace that. It also appears as though the ram anodes are missing now that I looked up what they look like. The PO did appear to run...

Thank you. There is a porthole above the AC panel although it is on the starboard side and this puddle was on the port side. However there is a porthole above the closet pictured. Forgive me but what is the MDP?

Sorry for all the posts! This new to me boat was somewhat neglected. Anyway I noticed some corrosion on the lower unit, wondering how serious it is. I also saw a merthacode fuse in the battery switch compartment but don't know if it's functional or where it is installed. The boat is dry/lift...

Hi, I noticed I had some water after a rain in an odd spot (red square in the below image). I wasn't able to identify where it came from. Has anyone else seen this problem?

There is a square pad in each corner of the lazarette hatch (built up about 1/2"). The pad on the spring side had some holes drilled randomly and epoxy smeared over it, as though the holes had stripped and an attempt at repair was made. I flipped the bracket around and attached it in roughly the...

Thank you for the info. Apparently I have the correct spring although it may be installed incorrectly. I will have to do some messing around to get it right.

Does this look right? Mine was disconnected so I reconnected it. Perhaps this is the reason it was disconnected, it's very difficult to access anything in the lazarette now. Just wondering if the wrong size was installed or something. Thanks for any input!

Greetings. I'm looking to mount a 19"-22" TV on the aft galley wall which is opposite the forward head wall. I'm concerned about drilling in that wall and how thick it is. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience? Thanks!
