Word is switch in stock, lists for 47 something, remote in stock looks like 130 or so list, but there is possibility a y cable may be needed for flawless trim install and extension cable for stereo remote, am looking up those. Only want to do things once ya know :-)

Dunno what pricing can be had am also checking that too, it's starting to get busy am sorry hadn't gotten back sooner (but have not forgot!)

DO YOU have a CD changer now on the boat, if so a y cable may be needed for the stereo remote as well.
Thanks for patience.

Is the remote white? What model is the one that you have? I don't have a cd changer right now. Don't think i will put one in either. I plan on mounting the remote on the back above the swim deck, so would need whatever cable necessary for that. I take it the remote drive switch, i should just be able to wire in and tap into the pump? I'll have to get ahold of a schematic. Thanks bud, i'll be patient, as we are supposedly getting up to 6 inches of snow by end of tomorrow. Spring crawled back in a hole.......

Outboards have trim buttons built in.
Nope, don't need a boat.....

Just some gadgets.......

HI Cloudmaster: I'm pretty sure it's chrome bezel LCD lit screen and a flat silver face in the shape of a cross, with a round hole in the middle. Buttons...man I only had a glimpse before it got stocked.

Might be an MX55M

Memory fails but I will find the thing tomorrow.

marylandmark, that's a Clarion remote, yes? Impressive pics BTW.

TTY'all tomorrow.

I have a standard mercury transom trim switch on mine. It's cheap, easy to install, and a very worthwhile addition.

Cloudmaster:

The remote trim is P/N 87-851200A 1, it has the harness with the female 3 prong rubber connector to the pump and also has the 3 prong rubber connector to the harness. IOW, the adaptor harness and the switch, factory New old Stock. The switch is a simple hole in the transom with lots of room for error, a little sealant and you're done. 3 Bullet connectors, Factory stuff is so nice.

The Stereo remote is the Sony RMX55M, and we have the cable too. A holesaw will get this done, Sony units never had any problems I ever heard of, IE bulletproof. The only care needed is in tiewrapping the extension cable so it can't rattle. BTW we do Eliminator as well and so are familiar with your boat.

Want a Whipple? :-)

All joking aside, call 1 877 419 6464 during CST business hours and we can get it done. Ask for Marty or, as a last resort, Jim.

Shipping ought to be reasonable. This is not an advertisement just trying to help get it done ASAP.

Anyone have a pic of what this particular trim switch looks like? I appreciate the research Marty, I had actually spoken with you about my current boat before i bought it. I was lookin for flip up and door options. I'd rather have a door than a whipple......

I think i'm gonna go with the white transom mount sony commander instead of the xplod one, imo, i think it's too big and guady. Will probably get the switch from you though, just would like a pic of it to see what i'm getting before buying.

Ryan: I am not Marty I am Jim, a wrench not a shop owner.

I attached a JPEG of an identical switch, the sticker has orange WARNING with black lettering.Apparently this picture is black and white.

Right, this Sony unit is chrome/black/silver and not white.
