Changes
The Trim Sender/Trim Limit for the MC I/Alpha One/Alpha One Generation II/Bravo One/Two and the MC IITR/
IITRS models are only available in a kit that includes both the trim sender and the trim limit in each kit. The
new trim sender and trim limit assemblies can be identified by the following changes:
a. The rotor assembly is now gray in color.
b. The lead assembly has a black plastic wrap over the outside.
c. The words TRIM SENDER STARBOARD and TRIM LIMIT PORT will be on the covers.
The new style trim sender and trim limit assemblies are being used on all Alpha and Bravo assemblies in pro-
duction today. The starting serial numbers are as follows: ALPHA [OD692187] BRAVO [OD695289]
Problem
The trim sender assembly would begin working erratically after a period of time of quit working completely.
Some units were found to have water inside, caused by either a pinched or damaged lead assembly. Other
units were found to have cut leads or small pin holes in the leads which after a period of time, would allow
water to wick down the lead into the sender or corrode the wire and cause it to stop working.
Parts Required

(1) 805320A2 Trim sender/Trim limit kit for MC IITR/IITRS
Repair
Remove both the trim sender and the trim limit assemblies and their wiring harnesses for the new units that
come in the kit, following the instructions included in each kit. [“DO NOT CUT AND/OR SPLICE ANY OF THE
LEADS”]. A copy of the instructions is included in the back of this bulletin.
Trouble Shooting
If, after installation of the trim sender or the trim limit switch assembly, you find that one of the other does not
work or register on the gauge do not check with an ohmmeter by poking through the casing of the wire. Check
the wires from the inside of the boat at the connectors. If you puncture the casing of the wire on the outside
of the boat water will leak into the wire and cause damage to the sender.
Warranty
If the unit is under warranty fill out a warranty claim and send to your normal processing center.
