Default Trim Limit Switches
I'm replacing my trim limit switches in a couple of weeks. Is there anything else I should replace while I have everything apart? I've read that it's common to tear the water hoses during this process. Should I go ahead and order placements?

Don't use the Sierra switches - keep with the Merc units. They fail quickly and are inaccurate.

If you are replacing the wires also then you might as well think of the full package and do the bellows to.
