190 I/O trim gauge

[mares1]

My out drive moves up and down but the gauge does not work and ideas?

probably the sender on the side of the outdrive ( looks kinda like a hockey puck ) ....these are notorious for failing and require pulling the drive to replace. Mine doesnt work and I don't miss it much....will probably fix mine next season.

Kind of expensive too, if the dealer does it. I am not sure if I have ever looked at this gauge.

Find the black round-ish hockey puck looking thing on the top sides of the outdrive.

Don’t touch the one on the port side.

Look at the one on the starboard side.

Is a wire cut?

Start with that.

If you need it, cant live without it, you can change it with the drive on. You splice the wires but before you connect the wires you slide on heavywall heat shrink tubing with the goo on the inside.
