Doug you have a trim gauge for your place diverter right? Can you post a picture of the gauge sending unit and how it interfaces to the diverter?

Sure, I can post some pics, but it might be a few days before I see my boat.  In the meantime, I'll try to describe the setup.

My Place Diverter is hydraulically operated by a cylinder and ram on the diverter itself.  Next to where the ram mounts to the diverter, there is a control cable mounted to the diverter.  It's size is similar to that of a bicycle brake and shifter control cable.  The cable jacket is mounted to the cylinder, so the cable moves the EXACT same amount as the ram.  Next to where my hydraulic pump is mounted on the inside of the transom, is the sending unit.  While the other end of the cable jacket is mounted in a stationary position, the contol end is mounted on an arm attached to the sending unit.  The mounting location on the arm is variable.  In other words, the farther out on the arm the cable is attached, the farther the cable has to move to complete the full travel of the arm.  The sender is, then, connected electronically to the gauge on the dash. :D

Thanks! You don’t need to taka a picture I understand it now. Looking at it in the catalog it looks as if you have to mount the sender to the diverter itself. I thought it would look kind of funny like that. But this system sounds good. A hydraulic diverter is my next accessory I am going to get for the boat.   :good

Oh I knew exactly what he's talking about. It's all pretty easy to understand. Been building engines and understanding how they are assembled all my life!

Would you like to discuss the finer points to Single Malt Scotch?  I prefer the peaty, salty influences of the malts for the Isle of Islay. But the pure water and heather of the Speyside region makes a nice smooth dram as well.  :D

Whiskey……The water of the gods! But not the cheap American stuff. The good Scottish stuff that makes you think of Bagpipes and Clansmen.

I like to think of the Kilt as "easy access" & once the Scotch is in the belly the Loch Ness Monster likes to come out and play.  :D

Thanks that’s what I figured from Doug’s post.  That looks like a really clean system. I think that I am going to have to do it on my boat.  :good

What does your switch to control it look like? Is it a steering wheel mounted thing?

pictures do wonders. I have that, w/o the gauge though.

I always have to look back to see if my rooster is up or not.

My switch is also on the steering wheel.

Does the cord hang from the back of the switch or do the contacts run through your steering column?  Mine hangs off the back and may wrap around the column on a hard turn.  It would be cool to run it through the column like a horn circuit, but you would need a couple more contacts.
