The original tilt/trim sensor (4-wire) from 1986 is NLA. But you can use a modern 2-wire sender, wiring harness, and gauge. The meter itself is about $65.00, and is available in either black or white face. The sender kit is 3KY725750M, and costs about $91. Then get the harness, and decide whether you prefer a black or white meter.
