Perhaps you would get a better result if you posted your question in the general maintenance forum. Be patient eventually someone will assist you with your question. If you don't have an authorized mercury dealer in Turkey maybe you should contact mercury to find a dealer who will help you.
 
You might try going to the Mercruiser website and asking your question through their "Contact Us". The few times I have done this I got back very thorough and complete responses.
 
Did you do the trim calibration procedure? Read the manual. i did mine and if i remember correctly you need to go full trim then push button on gauge and then do full down and push again (something like that)
 
I don't have smart craft. . .so I don't get quite those annoying nuisance alarms. However. . . .these devices have always been quite problematic on my boat -> And I simply can't trust them. I have replaced them once. . .and at least on my 15 year old Alphas, I regard them as expensive pieces of junk.
 
I have had similar alarms and problems with trim sensors. The new trim sensors do not allow setting the sensors when the boat is out of the water and turning the sensor to the desired setting. They need to be set / adjusted (when changed) via a PC / computer with special Mercury software via the serial cable connection on the wiring harness.
Another words -- break out the Bucks for a Mercury Tech.

Got to love Mercruiser - Reliable - NOT - Invoated - NOT - Thank God they didn't make my Car !!!
 
I also had similar issues with our Smart Craft trim guage. The Mercruiser dealer tried adjusting the calibration for the sensor two different occasions and I would still get the alarm almost every time out. Took it back again, and they replaced the sensor. No more alarms. It's now been 1 year without any alarm. Here in the US the trim sender was $84. and there was 2.5 hours labor ( $222.00) for a total of $306. Kind of pricey, but it fixed the issue.

Good luck.
 
we solved the problem with mercury service , we take the boat a shore and after five minutes the problem was solved , the technician make a little
set the starboard of the boat near trim and its ok,
thanks everyone
