Default Mercury Mechanical Trim Indicator

I've got a Kiekhaefer Mechanical Trim indicator that has the wrong card in it for my application. I need a card that has IN at the top of the Drive section, mine has OUT. If you are switching from the actuators that mount on the rams to a style that mounts on the upper part of the drive this is what you need.

On my last boat I had the actuator that mounted where the stock trim sender was and I used the same card as what you have except it was for a single drive.

Correct, that is what this card is for. The IN card is for the ram mounted actuators, which is what I have.

OK, I get it now.

I have a ram mounted indicator now and it is the reverse of the pic you posted except it says "Down" instead of IN.

I should have one for you. I removed mine and made my own sticks which protrude out of the top of my new dash. The old panel is in the shop somewhere I'll take a look.

Mailed the "card" to Mike today. Didn't see your post till now. I have the frame, lil white pointers and back inside parts. I would imagine he would give you his. What goes around comes around

Shoot me an email to mark at underdogracing com and you can have it all.

I made my own sticks and used only the original cables and cable holders so I have the rest laying around.

When all this gets to the proper person, I'm looking for two white indicators to go in the gauge. Anyone have extra?

Thank you
