Replacing 225 Trim Switch?

[SaltyDog251]

I can’t tell what holds the switch to the cowling. Do I have to remove it to get the switch out or is it something I could do with maybe a mirror and some needle nose?

It's held on by a clip on the switch body - see part 6 at:

I've never had to remove mine, but remove the starboard side bolts holding the cowling, along with the cover for the cables, and you ought be able to get to it fairly easily.

Thanks CHawk, I was hoping there was an easier way but no biggie
