Does anyone have experience with replacing the trim switch on the throttle handle of a 240 Sundeck (or similar model)?
The trim switch at the helm stopped working in both directions, but the switch at the transom works fine, so I believe the switch itself has failed.
I’ve ordered the replacement switch (https://www.boats.net/product/mercury/858679T1), and began to follow the wire that exits the throttle control above the starboard cubby at the helm. However, it quickly disappears behind the cubby and must be wire-tied down because it doesn’t budge. I can’t see any way to remove the cubby panel or access the wire.
Has anyone had success with replacing this? How do you access the wiring harness to replace the switch?
Thanks in advance for your help
