Post subject: | Sticking trim switch |
My trim switch (VOLVO) is sticking on again. Not going back to center position. I had same problem a couple years ago and replaced switch. Don't really use the boat that much seems switch should last longer. I was wondering if any body else has had problems with Volvo trim switches? Obviously I need to replace switch again. I was thinking about putting 2 Indicator lights next to trim gauge to show up-down when trimming to make sure power goes off when switch is released. Has anyone done anything similar to this? Thanks, Rob |

might try cleaning it with contact cleaner and then blow out with compressed air. Sometimes you can replace parts in those controls, is it a Teleflex unit? |

LouC, Cleaning is a good idea. Next time I'm in boat I was going to take apart and check it out. As far as Teleflex not sure what you mean. I assume you mean manufacturer. The control handle is OEM Volvo. I replaced just the thumb trim switch a couple years ago with OEM Volvo part. Whats what sticking again. |

To follow up on LouC's reply, while Volvo might have a part number for the trim switch, many of these throttle quadrants are made by Teleflex. You might be able to find a Teleflex number. The Four Winns Pars Catalog will occasionally include a part number in the part description that relates to the actual manufacturer of the part. |
