280 ss trim gauge?????

[Kerry Cordy]

Can you guys help me with some suggestions on where I can buy a trim gauge for my new 280 ss. I took it out today for the 2nd Time and I just feel uncomfortable without the trim gauge. I just lose track of where I'm at. I don't want to make a mistake at 90 mph. FYI, I won my club Tournament today with my first 280 visit. I was 19th out. I love passing those guys up liked they are parked, and some are running 70 plus!!!!!

Thanks, Allen

Can't help you with the trim guage, but congratulations on the WIN and the drive by!

Congrats on the win Kerry. If I'm not mistaken merc does not make a trim gauge for us with the SS mid. I run stainless marine manual indicator. The indicator is on the right side of my steering wheel on the little pad and the measure mounts to the left side of the engine. Here's a pic of how it mounts to the mid.

Get a mechanical. Very accurate. I got mine from Reynolds.

I don't think you have a choice but to go mechanical on the single ram mids, do you?

I changed my mind, I can help even though I have an OMCease. When I set mine up I have to be careful to check the adjustment so it doesn't over pull the cable and break the spring inside the dash unit.
