Trim sender part number - Mercury 150 Pro Max ss

[aeneas]

I had my new dash hooked up (fuel, trim, tacho, water pressure, and volt) and when testing the trim gauge didn't move... Looked over all wiring and all was according to the Service Manual. Then I removed the canopy on the engine and found there was no trim sender connected to the harness (because there is none). :nonod:

Need a part number for an OEM Mercury trim sender for my Merc 150 Pro Max ss (15" mid) serial# 0G610057.

I have the ProMax 200SS and there was no position sender available for it. I have the manual cable set-up you see here.

gotta do like Gordon.. don't think there is one for tha 15"er.....

[tux974]

:iagree: with Gordon and tlwjkw need to order a mechanical kit with dash indicator from Stainless Marine.

I looked at the mid and found that there has been something there before. I have bought a trim sender unit today...

if that works it would be good ta know... not anywhere close ta being listed for a hot rod..

[aeneas]

I'll let you know.

I just took a photo of each side of the swivel bracket and see that your SS has different bosses. Mine is a 1999 model and it neither has the clearance for the sender or the mounting holes. As you see in the photos, there are tilt locks on each side that will not clear any sender parts.

I really thought these were all the same...Gordon

after a little diggin' there's a couple different ones shown on tha "offshore" clamp.. 86485A 5 (early models), 841198A 1 (later models)

"0" for tha shorty PM...

If what you have is an OEM 15" (hard to tell from that close up picture) they do not have trim sender built in. Maybe someone cut a 20" swivel section or something else.
The picture you show in post 8 is the end of ram head pin nut.

[BUZZIN' DOZEN]

The reason they quit putting senders in single rams is there had to be a hole through the pin and the top eye of the ram so a roll pin could be installed that way the pin was in a fixed position so when trimmed up it moved the sender, problem was when you drill a hole through the pin they ALL broke and because of the tight clearance it only had a little extra play so most never noticed

[aeneas]

The part I bought does not fit. :(

I am going to see if Mercury can help me find a trim sender, if not I will have to go mechanical like Gordon02.

I took a pic of the label on the mid (it does not look like a cut mid):

I would not waste my time searching, what you looking for does not exist for an OEM 15” SS swivel section.
Just contact Stainless Marine in FL and get the correct kit.

Aeneas, looking at your profile I see that you have an Allison that this motor may be going on?

Are you already accustomed to driving 75+ speeds? Not to offend, just asking. When I ordered my XB2002, I had never driven an Allison and was really shocked at the fact that I had to learn all over again how to drive. I'd driven Bumblebee to 75+, an over-powered Procraft to almost 80, but the Allison was much different. Getting and keeping one on pad is an acquired skill of balance. All this rambling is to say that I did not have any type of trim gauge for the first year of operation after I rigged my 200 ProMax SS. I am grateful that I had that year to learn the feel of perfect trim. My XB2002 is very sensitive to trim and if I'd had that gauge installed day-1, I think I would have missed the lessons of feel learned.

For those reading this that question my comments on the Allison, I will offer this fact - I've let more than a dozen owners of high-power bass rigs drive my Allison (me in the seat next to them) and not one has been able to break the 65 mph mark. That balancing on the pad they thought they were doing in their boats goes on steroids at 60 or so in the Allison. Chine walk is not something you'll drive through and trim is just one of the ingredients we need to feel for complete control. Gordon

Hi Gordon,
I had a Merc 200xs ss sm 1.87 on the Allison and it was a blast. I had it up to just over 98mph https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Snz8wVPm2KE (over 95 every time out in the end) and I could almost drive it with one hand on the wheel (super well-behaved with a David Shook Mazco RE3 30p prop). I sold that boat in the autumn after eight wonderful years. Now I am doing something more practical - a RIB Unlimited 602 (Rigid Inflatable Boat). It is a 6m (20') 550lbs boat built on a fast and seaworthy Hydrolift T-17 hull (the Hydrolift T-17 I had before the Allison is the white boat in the attached pictures). The RIB Unlimited 600 is rated for 115hp and this very engine is dynoed @187hp. A prototype of this RIB Unlimited 600 (same hull and pontoons but all black and with a deck and a Merc 225) held the UIM kilo speed record for RIBs for a year until the same people put pontoons on a Hydrolift offshore class 2 catamaran fitted with a Lamborghini offshore class 1 V12 engine and blew that record off the water in 1996.

This boat has a Jackplate, SeaStar Pro 2.0 pump/Tournament Series cylinder, ProTrim, Hotfoot and new gauges/new electrics so apart from the Jackplate it is rigged similar to my Allison. RIBs are not common on this forum but you guys on here provide me with lots of valuable information and experiences so I am still on here... :thumbsup:
