Mechanical trim indicators with Volvo drives
 
Friends,

My newest project is to add old school mechanical trim indicators to my K-planes and Volvo drives. The K-planes are easy, but I haven't figured out how to mount the cables to the drives and still be able to tilt the drives all the way up . . .
has anyone done this that can educate me???

I have not done it yet, but I'm thinking about mounting the cable to the block off plate for the exhaust and connecting it to the out drive where the exhaust bellows would have mounted.

270's or 270 t's?

280's with elephant ear trim ;-)

I've swapped to SP-A drives. I think the exhaust bellow area is the best bet for range of motion
