Is it possible and how/what do you adjust in order for your trim gauge to actually reflect where the motor is at.

At full down trim, the gauge shows 1/4 up at full up on the gauge the motor is only at 3/4.

Basically the gauge is off by a quarter. Any way to fix this????

 
 

Good Luck and Good Fishin'

I'm sure there probably is an adjustment. I will look at mine this weekend and if I can figure it out, get back to you. Of course you could always resort to the BFH and wack it a quarter turn!  ; )  BFH is a Big F&*^%&G# Hammer!

It sounds like you are off 1/4 both ways towards centered. Is there some way to adjust the "range" (for lack of the correct term).

You can't aim a duck to death.

All to familiar with the all mighty BFH and if that dont work get a bigger BFH!!! LOL Thats the "wrench" coming out in me!

Yes it is off by a qtr to the "right" per say.

I was reading on another site that there is a screw towards the front of the engine ect but I can not relate to the instructions they are giving.  I pulled the manual up on-line but they only talk about the digital gauges and this is a manual one.

Heading up tonight to the lake so I suppose I will take a couple screw sticks up and tinker with it while out fishing.

By the way, has anyone seen two of my fishfinders? I put them away this winter and  Iwill be darned if I can find them. They are both 700 series humminbirds so if you run across them let me know!!! LOL       CRS kickin' in!

There is a ring adjustment on the steering arm shaft at the front of the motor.   It looks like a ring with a cam on it.   Just loosen the screw and rotate it and you'll see the trim guage move.

Thanks from me too!  I have been waiting to learn how to fix mine as well!

Ditto, I had installed new gauges in my boat and the trim guage wasn't reading right.  After reading this yesterday went home and had it adjusted in 5 minutes.

Thanks!

Wow - three quick fixes.   That's how these forums should always work.  I should have mentioned that the ring may break because its plastic, but a new one is only a couple of bucks.  I also found a metal replacement ring for just a little more but I'll wait until my plastic ring breaks again.

Walynut, maybe you are coming down with the same disease I have.  Some guys get West Nile, but I have C Nile!
