Default Got tired of broken rocker switches, so I replaced them

Found these switches at Diamond Performance. Fab'ed a new panel and replaced all the rockers this last weekend. I also took out the mercruiser twin engine trim box, I was having delayed trim action when I used the trim in handle. Now everything works perfect. I took out all the old wiring and ran 3 conductor SO cord from the switches to the trim pumps. I dont have over trim lmit protection anymore but since I am the only person who drives it is a non issue.

That looks really good. I would like to move my trim switches to the throttles and move my tab switches down. My hopes are to free up enough room to put a pair of oil temperature gauges in that panel.

Very nice, I might have to copy you on that. I'm in the process of adding oil temp as well Matt.

Nice mod man! Do they make a Trim tab for us single engine boats? Their website only shows double.
