trim tab indicators retrofit

Saverio · Apr 23, 2018

Good Morning,

I'm installing my second set of indicators. I did it on my old 390 several years ago. I'm having the same issue again getting them to work. I installed the rods with the point end down. When I try to calabrate them I hit the two buttons on the bottom and now nothing is happening? the right side of the display only the top limit flashes. the left display everything flashes the red lights lights.

thanks

Which Indicator are you installing? The one with built in switches or the stand alone one?

its the kit where you replace the tops of the pistons insert the rods. replace the switch on the helm.
that's where im having the issue is with the switch on the helm

Try this and let me know what you find.

Upper yellow LED flashes on port or starboard display: Indicates the display is not receiving a sensor signal. If the port
upper yellow LED flashes the fault is in the port sensor or wires. A flashing yellow LED on the starboard display would
indicate a fault on the starboard sensor or wiring. Check for a broken wire to sensor, faulty connection or corrosion at TPI
display. Switching the connections on the back of the helm display will confirm the diagnostic code if the flashing LEDs
switch sides. Alternatively you may check the twisted pair of wires inside the shielded red and green cables with an Ohm
meter set to the 10X scale. They should produce a reading in the 220 -260 Ohm range.
