That is on the base unit inside the gunnel. It's at the very back of the large metal piece that you slide in first during base assembly. The plugs for it are further back inside the gunnel.
I’ve Forgot to put the cover plate on before and now can’t get the push button back out to get to the pivot bolt. How does that spring loaded button come back off ?
If I'm reading the question correctly, engage throttle only by pushing in the button and moving the throttle lever forward. Then push in the button and quickly release allowing it to kind of pop loose. At that point you should be able to grab it by the edges and pull it out. You may need to try this a few times slightly adjusting the leaver position each time to get it in the right place.
It's the tilt and trim switch. I ordered both on Amazon. Switch on the motor - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003907O0C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Switch on the throttle - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B098CXSFPT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
We have a 2004 Mercury 115 hp 4-Stroke. The same switch goes up no problem. Down is a pain to get it in the right spot to work. I need to change out the switch. As far as I know outboard is 0T178500. Do you have any idea of correct switch on these. I have looked and all kinds. Mercury parts site is of no good don't even see the switch. Plus 2004 Mercury might not even have parts. Any suggestions on switch to get? Great video on what is needed to change the switch.

Mercury's repair manuals are really hard to find unless you shell out money. I have a 8M0176287 controller attached to a tiny 20 4-stroke EFI motor and it has a broken trim switch. Don't feel like paying $89 for a damn repair manual for accessories. I just can't find diagrams or a spare part switch anywhere for this controller and the Chinese sources typically supply parts mostly for one generation older controllers. Mercury is pretty crappy with openness and right to repair. What a shame.
My trim switch just went bad on my shifter your video was the only one I could find on a repair mine is same shifter u have great job Thanks
Thank you!
A way to remember is blue sky up and green grass down and the red is battery power

@@bomerfett3836 yeah that’s what I need off.
I’ve tried that but I’ll try again.
I’ve seen people posting that they’ve broken them by prying them out.
Thanks for the vid ! Is there a way I can get that manual you have ?

Once I had it all the way apart I used some extra long thin needle nose pillars I have to grab the broken pieces.

Thank you for watching, and your feedback.
Engage the throttle only button before putting the lever forward and the button should come right out.
Thank you. Hopefully I will remember that next time. LOL
How tight did you tighten the bolt ? does it have to be semi loose ?
"Very snug"
