Trim Limit ??????????????
First time I have posted on this board. Wondering if any of you outboard guys have come up with a way of stopping the up trim on an outboard other than using a trim timer? Anyone know if anyone makes one? Drag racing now and using 24 volt up trim but engine blows out to quick and then on the down trim buttons-lossing bite and time. Any help much appreciated (I am trying to install engine wedges right now to get the engine trimmed under futher) running a pro max center trim motor which will only trim out a certain distance but that distance is to far on this new boat)
Haven't tried either but...
You could put blocking/flag type switches on the high (up) trim and/or low (down) side that would cut the appropriate trim direction (when you reached the "UP" limit, you'd only be able to trim down and vice-versa). I can't find any of my electronic component catalogs right now, but if I have a chance I'll try to find a PN and description...
This is actually a fairly interesting idea if it can be done in a bulletproof enough way... You'd have to have some kind of bypass on the "UP" side if you needed to trim higher for towing and such, and I don't know whether or not there is anything that will withstand those kinds of conditions (getting that wet and taking that kind of pounding)...
