Send unit on a 1998 Evinrude outboard

[Dragonsm]

I have a 1998 Evinrude SLP 50hp with tilt/trim on my 16 ft Lund. However, 2 years ago, when I bought the motor up north I ran in to headaches with the dealer, and when they finally got to mounting my motor, they didn't connect my trim gauge to it.

I used it all last year without the trim gauge, but it is something that has been festering! I understand it is pretty easy to hook up one of these gauges if you know where the send unit is on it and what wires and where to look.

So, with that, my question is where would I look on my motor to find the send unit for the tilt/trim gauge, and what color wires should I be looking for?

Thanks for all the help in advance!

If I recall corectly that that unit is located just below the powerhead in the area of the trim & Tilt. Follow the wires from that up inside along the powerhead and then to your tilt gauge. The dealer may have forgotten to hook up the wires at the guage or the tilt reostat on the motor.
Hope this helps!
