Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if my trim sender is failing?
Common signs include a trim gauge that is stuck, moves erratically, or does not correspond to the actual position of the sterndrive. Inaccurate readings can affect performance and safety.
What is the function of a trim position sensor?
This sensor (also called a potentiometer) measures the tilt angle of your sterndrive and relays this information to the trim gauge on your dashboard. This allows you to adjust the drive angle for optimal performance, fuel economy, and handling in different water conditions.
Is calibration required after installing this new sensor?
Yes, calibration is often necessary to synchronize the new sensor with your trim gauge. This usually involves moving the drive through its full range of motion. For specific instructions, consult your Volvo Penta service manual for your drive model.
Is this sensor compatible with SX-A or DPS-B drives?
This kit is confirmed for 290, SP, DP, DP-S, DP-SM, SX, and SX-M models. Compatibility with newer models like the SX-A or DPS-B is not guaranteed. Always verify that your original part number is 22314183 or 873531 before ordering.
