They fit perfectly. I have kiekaffer controls. Just pop the plastic caps off, drill a small hole for the wires to exit the knob and tie wrap them to the handle, screw the new switch on and wire the 3 wires to your existing trim switch in parallel. Done

Hey Guys,
I know this thread is way old, but I think I just got one of these switches from Great Lakes Skipper that you are talking about.
It looks like it's an easy add on, but it seems a bit flimsy with the small diameter installation screws and thin gauge wire. Is this the switch you guys are talking about and is it still working good for you?

Hoping someone who has installed this can help me out.
I finally got around to installing the formula switch on my boat. I split off green and blue wires so that one each goes to the Starboard and Port drive trim switches and the red going to a single power. The throttle switch works great and I love it. The problem is, the original switches will not work independently of each other - they're now tied directly in to each other.
Am I going to need relays or is there an easier way to do it?
