Hey Brandon, good video. While I realize this is a repair and not a restoration, a little bit of heat from a heat gun on the lever lock handle and the switch lever should remove the oxidized appearance of the plastic and make the repair much more cosmetically appealing. If you have never tried the heat gun trick, it is a simple way to restore the color of sun faded plastics, likely a useful tip in you neck of the woods.

Good Morning Brandon. On the back of my 71" 17' Mako is a 76" 75hp Stinger. I never wanted to repower so I have had to acclimate myself to all the nuances of these triples. The Stingers are not worked on in youtube land but they are shown on the back of a lot of water carriers. I was thinking about starting a channel primarily to help folks with diagnosing and re engineering this Johnson. Also at the same time I would like to show my cooking prowess and how to drink responsibly by not leaving the homestead while impaired. Do you think that would work? Just drop a big Thumbs up if you do, Thanks and my name is Brandon also.

I thought you were going to show us how to fix the trim switch... After skimming though the comments it seems like the "up" side of the trim switch is a common failure. I don't think it actually fails. I think it just wears out. I use mine a lot but I don't use the up side any more than I use the down side. A bit of solder in the right place should do the trick.

Inside the switch is a copper rocker arm that makes contact with an electrode when the tab is pressed up or down. You can carefully take the switch apart by bending out the little tabs on the switch. On each end of the copper rocker arm is a contact point that contacts the switch electrodes when the trim tab is activated. If the contact points have fallen off or wore down to the point they no longer make contact, you can solder new contact points on the ends. I had to do this with mine. Just be vigilant how the rocker arm fits inside the switch.

YOU SHOULD OF ADDED A ADDITIONAL SCREW AT THE TOP OF THE HANDLE THAT IS ONE OF THE REASON WHY THE BEZEL CRACKS ALONG WITH PEOPLE USING THE BEZEL AS A THROTTLE HANDLE.

So my question is Brandon why didn't you feel that switch and all those connections up with a big Gob of dielectric grease? I don't understand how people put boat parts together and just don't Gob dielectric grease onto everything. That's what I do with my boats am I doing it wrong? Is there a problem with dielectric grease?

any red plug ended controller will work. ...or a newer version with the use of an adapter. Figure the adapter is $100, and a newer controller alone is $200+ your usually better off just buying a nice older unit. No yellow or black plugged controllers though.
