Default Level of effort - adding trim-on-throttle

My boat (29' Powerquest) does not have drive trim on the throttles, only through switches on the dash. I see that you can buy add-on switches for this function, just wondering how difficult it is to install them. Boat has twin 454's, standard Zero-Effort Merc controls.

DR,

Piece of cake. I had bolt-on trim switch from Rex Marine on my 311 and really liked it. Just be sure to get the diode kit to install or it will not work properly.

Thanks, I'm going to buy it from Fred in any case, so I'll just ring him up and ask him to send me whatever he thinks I'll need. I was just worried that it would be a huge project I'd get halfway through, then realize I was fubar...
