Abstract
A simply-structured trim sensor measures the trim position of an outboard motor. The sensor operates between a pivot pin, which is fixed to a clamping bracket, and a swivel bracket, which rotates about the pivot pin. The sensor is arranged between the clamping and swivel brackets in a position which allows ready access to the sensor. A technician therefore can easily adjustment or repair the sensor without disassembling any portion of the clamping and swivel brackets, and without moving the outboard motor.
