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.

That's a clean piece!

I've had this on my mind all week. What kind of switch is that. Looks good!

it would be even cooler on a different motor!

Like this one

It got robbed from a winch control I wasn't using. Its an all sealed switch.

That's nice man, have you ran with it yet.. If so how you like it?

It gets me where I need to go.

It feels like it's suppose to be their. I have ran with it and I'm spoiled. I gotta do one for my buddy when we get home.

I will be making a few more after I get home. If anyone is interest, let me know. I will be selling $39.95 plus shipping if you don't live in the area. Just let me know

Does the switch still work on the motor

yea, switching is done by a winch solenoid on both buttons.

Well hell I like that.

Thank ya. Yea my ass won't end up on the bank cuz I don't have to look back to trim anymore.

Ill take one if your serious about building them

I'd take one also. Let me know

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

Just kinda curious abt how u wired it up I got a switch and and a relay box did u wire just the switch up to other switch

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

Ok but how do u wire the switch on the motor being its 4 wires do u just take out the neg

What about mine, it only has 3 wires?

No quite sure about the PD trim unit, but GT unit has 2 wires.

On the grab bars, I can do one for a GTB no prob. For all others, I have to have the ID of the pipe.

I'm talking about the switch on the handle of the motor thanks for all our help when u get those switches made let me know lol looks like ur gonna make a lil business

Yeah looks like u might not have much spare time for a few days

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.

I bet that does get old

A lot of times I don't put the shit back on. Lol you would think they would put a switch on the motor.

Yeah no doubt! Might have to get u a stick to keep with u

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.

Yeah gotta have that bracket too!
