Abstract
A trim switch control for aligning a motor on a boat. The switch includes a housing in which a switch body is supported. A bridging member includes side lobes having domed contact engaging portions. In response to user actuation, an actuator surface is brought into engagement with the domed side lobes causing deformation of those lobes into engagement with the contacts. This completes an electrical circuit, resulting in user actuated control of the motor trim.
