    After market engines trim switch?

    Some how the lower down part of my engines trim switch got jammed in (can’t trim up or down w/ engines switch and it effects the binnacals control like when I trim up then let off the button it continues to trim up until I press the trim down on binnacale.


    So if I want to trim from engine at launch and retrieval I have to remove cover and jump the triangle plug.


    I assume the three wire switch was designed to have red as 12VDC blue and green are for up/down.


    The OMC switch is $90. new. until I can obtain a used one I see them on ebay for around $25. can I waterproof then hang a after market type switch outside cowling?


    Here’s the alternative switch it mite just fit the orginal switchs hole

    Idea, use relay to only energize starter wires when you start the engines
