My trim switch on the control box has morphed into a noodle. Sloppy and sticky.

I had the cable replace last year, and now I'm contemplating replacing the box. On my boat, the factory control box is a top mount.

Any suggestions on a brand?

What I have found thus far is this:

Uflex:

Thanks,

Nobody has had to replace their control box?

Nope...looks like you are the only one!

Personally, I would probably just replace it with OEM if I were in the same boat (pun intended).

I'll call Phil Dill in the morning to see how much that little jewel is.

Actually, remember that Phil Dill isnt the dealer anymore. Not that they couldnt come up with it, but our local Four Winns dealer is North Texas Marine (one in Gainesville and one in Fort Worth). I had to order a fiberglass vent cover from the Gainesville location and they got it promptly.

Ah ... didn't know that. Last year I bought all of my parts from Phil Dill. I assumed they were still the FW dealer.

I work in Ft. Worth. I'll check with North Texas Marine. Thanks for the heads-up.
