Trim Sensor

The Mercury Marine 8M0142805 Trim Position Sensor is a genuine Mercury OEM sensor designed to accurately monitor outboard trim position and transmit trim angle data to SmartCraft instrumentation, VesselView displays and compatible trim gauges. The sensor provides real-time trim position information, allowing operators to optimise boat performance, fuel efficiency and handling characteristics.

Mounted within the trim and tilt system, the sensor continuously measures trim movement and converts it into an electrical signal for display on gauges and digital monitoring systems. Accurate trim information is essential for achieving the correct running attitude, reducing fuel consumption and maximising performance across varying sea conditions.

Manufactured to Mercury Marine specifications, the 8M0142805 sensor is built to withstand vibration, moisture, saltwater exposure and the demanding marine environment. Genuine Mercury sensors provide accurate calibration, reliable operation and seamless integration with Mercury’s SmartCraft network and analogue trim gauge systems.

A faulty trim sensor can result in incorrect trim gauge readings, intermittent display operation, SmartCraft fault codes or loss of trim position information. Replacing the sensor with a genuine Mercury part helps restore proper trim indication and system functionality.
