you have to buy the kit, i just switched out both due to perished insulation. however if the wire is good you can cut and splice the new one in with shrink and seal heat shrink

you cant by any part of the sender or trim limit switch by itself they come as a kit. i would not cut the wires on the new units and try to seal them back up i think its a waste of time and money.

Yes you can get the round white disk by it self from merc, They call it a rotor, The merc parts guy at the dealer will find the part number in the parts book they have with photos of it in the book. Sorry I do not remember the part number off the top of my head. Keep in mind the little metel contacks at the end of each wire will need to be cleaned up Varry carefully if they look bad, And a lot of times water will get inside under the cap's "o" ring, So some times silcone will help that. This rotor is for the right side and, It is for the trim gauge only not the trim hight. I looked it up in that web site givin and thay had the part number. 805134A4.http://www.mercruiserparts.com/Show_...Steering+Lever. Look at the part numbers at the varry bottom they even have a photo, so you can make sure you are getting the right part.

look for a product called liquid tape, you can make any electrical connection completely waterproof. That is how we secure all aftermarket connections on our atv's. And we spend a lot of time in 3' or more of water. Works great on boat connections also.
