Post Grab Bar Trim Switch
Got tired of looking back to trim the motor when running down the river or when I'm about to be in a bind, so I built a switch housing out of aluminum to go in my grab bar.

Yup .. Always a pain to have to use opposite hand to trim .. Very clean and nice look ... Little bit of a rattle can paint to get rid of the white and your good to go

no piggy backing. You have to use a winch solenoid and both switches go the solenoid.

I need another switch but one on the side of the motor. Tired of having to reach on the console to trim down after I put that stupid bracket back on.

Yeah if I don't my motor is all over the place. I know now why you see so many ppl around here with rope holding the tiller straight, they got pissed at that bracket and it's sitting at the bottom the bayou.
