Got a new 2018 Crestliner 1660 SC with a 30hp Mercury. I have a trim gauge but the motor does not have the trim sending unit. I tried to Google/YouTube some install video's but no luck. I did call Mercury to get the correct part #. Perhaps I can rely on the install instructions that come with the part, but I was hoping to get a visual to determine the difficulty level of the project.

Anyone do an install?
 
I found one on eBay for $25+$5 to ship for my 2018 30hp Mercury. The Mercury site had $123 MSRP and other retailers had it around $70. The eBay unit was brand new in an unopened package.

The instructions were fairly straight forward. Mount the spring with sensor device in two holes that were already factory drilled and plug the live wire into a connector under the cowling that was made for it and ground a wire. Can't believe it actually worked and all for $30.
