I get needing extra parts. Just ranting about what I got for the money… A five dollar switch and a decal.

I’ll grab a pic later. It’s (not so) amusingly ridiculous.

Here’s mine.

I have $20 in it.

Started set up for a single and I modded it for what I needed.

The electrical tape is holding the harness on the back side of that lever as it wouldn’t fit through the tube that the single harness went through.

I received the “kit” this morning. A switch and a sticker. That was is. No wiring, no switch plate, nothing else. All that for $90?! Sending it back and I’ll wire up my own. I’m glad I bought the parts from Great Lakes Skipper.

No reach around ? Even ?
Damn !

Oof. That's a ripoff even by Merc standards.

Sorry if this is late, but I have one of these I don’t need. I installed trim sync last season and this got replaced with two switches on the throttle.
