'94 220 Trim Limit switch

Post by tgiese06 »

I have a '94 Cobalt 220 with Volvo Penta 5.7GL and DP outdrive. I am trying to locate the Trim Limit switch as that is likely the culprit to my trim switch not working. At the top of the gimble housing is a cog and the outdrive has a strip with teeth that turns the cog. I have looked online and can not find anything similar.
Any help is appreciated.

So glad you found us tg…06.

Our Volvo DP outdrive had the trim limit sensors on the outdrive rams. I believe you could adjust them by using a screwdriver to loosen the bolts; turn the sensor; and retighten

Any pics?

And welcome aboard mate.

A7: Does that drive have two pucks? One port for limit. One starboard for sensor. Hard to see how either of those could cause a trim switch to malfunction.

I think it depends on the model year.
