jhasting 26 Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 I now have all my parts to install my trim tab. Anyone have opinion's on where to mount the switch for the best access and ease of install. It's a single factory Lenco switch. FYI: Do not mount your Fat Sack switches where mine are!!! to easy to bump and fill or empty without noticing until your hear water pumping over board or the boat leans way to much to the wrong side. Instead of moving the switches I'm wring it to my spare Aux switch to power the lower switches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oldsmobiledriver 2,713 Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 I don't remember which other switch I took out but I took out the two factory acc switches of yours aren't used. Slappers up top and trim tab on bottom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slappers up top and trim tab on bottom Great Idea! I do have a ASSY switch in the lower left that is not being used and does not light up so I'm guessing there is no power to it yet. Is the only way to access that panel is to remove the screws from behind? I do not see screws on the outside to fasten the switch panel. Maybe bolts with nuts on them?

oldsmobiledriver 2,713 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I did it the hard way and reached up behind the switches to push the tabs in and pull the switches out. Wired it up with slack and poped them in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tgteeter 110 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I did mine exactly as Olds. Works great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnk 22 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I put mine right behind the throttle. I like it there because I'm often adjusting the trim when my hand is on/near the throttle, to accomodate varying choppiness. Here's a photo from when I just installed it (very nervous with the jigsaw there) and a grainy one from more recently. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oldsmobiledriver 2,713 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 I like the white switch too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SkySki 251 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 I had the white switch from one of my old boats and plastidipped the bezel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shawndoggy 1,452 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Agree with skyski... above the throttle makes the most sense (shower switch was later replaced with underwater lights switch, but I don't have a pic). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
