Hello All,

I have a 91 , 115HP Johnson that I am working on.

Heres whats happening...

When I raise the motor as far up as it will go, the trim gauge needle is in the up position, When I lower the motor back down the gauge will not go below the half way line on the gauge...

What shuld I check For?

Thank you

Ant...

Disconnect the sender wire from the gauge, turn on the key and see if the gauge goes back to zero. If it does you may have a bad sender.

I think I did that but the gauge still does not go to zero,
Would this mean the gauge itself is bad?

Thank you
