"Haven't launched yet, awaiting new trim pump solenoids. Pump runs if solenoids bypassed.
However while cleaning up the trim position sensor I see that the rheostat type resistor windings are wearing down and have movement, and also the slide pin has developed rough burrs and a crack. This rough surface is probably what damaged the windings. Using a meter I could detect no difference in signal along the slide surface.
While I can run fine without it ever functioning again (I trim by feel, not the dial) I should probably go ahead and replace it now or very soon.
Have not located a source other than Mercury dealers (none really nearby) either online or in catalogs. Rather then drive from dealer to dealer, I would just as leave have one delivered.
Do you have a reference I could use?
Thanks for all references."
