Why would you need a transom mounted trim switch? Guess if you really need one, you could use any single pole double throw momentary switch. Just wire it so it powers the relays.

try a dealership that uses them. I know Regal uses them.

Cord, it is so you can raise and lower the drive from either in the water or while on the trailer w/o having to get in the boat. Very convienent, like transom mounted radio controls

I thought I could find it, but I could not. Strange . . . it's a Mercury part so I thought I could find it at Mercury Parts Express. No luck, though.

Got it !!!

Part # 87-815200A 1

$33.48 + shipping at www.boatfix.com.

The July 2003 issue of Family & Performance Boating has a "how to install" article for this switch. If you want a copy, PM me and I'll scan and e-mail it to you.

I've put them on all my boats. Very handy at the beach! On twins I heat up the sticker on the one and turn it over, mount the one upside down and but them right against each other
so the rockers fall right at two fingers width.

Kokopelli,

We have the transom mounted trim switch available. It is weather proof and is designed to be mounted on the transom. Some racers use these in the cockpit as the tilt/trim control due to the weather proof qualities of the switch. We sell the switch for $32.95.
