Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Will this Power Trim Sensor replace a failed OEM sensor? A: Yes, it is designed as a direct replacement for OEM sensor numbers 896688 and 896688001, so it can replace the original unit without rewiring.

Q: How can I tell if my trim sensor is failing? A: Common signs include a trim gauge that reads erratically, stays at one position, or shows no movement when the outboard tilts. Replacing the sensor restores accurate trim feedback.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
