me with it LOL I am goin to put a trim gauge on my motor, my question has anyone on here every installed one on a 90 Mercury ELPTO motor and is so is it something that a dealer should do or can I do it without screwing something up or burning something down ??
thanks
Larry
Why?? The only reason I know of to have one is if you are getting your motor out of the water far enuff that the water pump aint doing what it should.
I just dont like having to turn around ever little while to see ifn my motor is peeing :) I know I know you season veterans can tell by the sound but I am just old and not seasoned like some of you LOLQuote:

As far as install you can handle it, not alot to it.
If ya want to put something on there of real value and significance put a water pressure gauge on there. Then if you trim up to high while running as my Ranger will do, you will see the pressure go down and also if the pump quits working this will let ya know.
you hit the nail on the head, that is my concern of coming to far out of the water, but just how hard are those to install ?? I aint no mechanic as much as some of these guys but can do just enough to get me to the point that I have to call someone in to straighten out my mess :biggrinQuote:
