That's a brilliant solution! Cheap, pretty easy to implement, quick and reversible. Bravo.

That is how I did my switch replacement. I have found some new OMC switches, but they are expensive. $110-$240. Depending on the seller. The only problem with the cheaper switches is just that. They are cheap. They break pretty easily, too. Good video for those who are having this problem.

Great video, I got one of those switches and put it in my control and just found a nylon spacer at hardware store and sanded it down to the right thickness and it worked perfect

Thank you!!!! Just saved me some $$$$$. The stock switches are hard to find and expensive. The link to the switch does not work, but is easy to find anywhere.

Well poo, Just don't get the blue switch, get black.

Great fix, you fill the void with something like glue or silicone and you'll have fun when the switch dies and you need to put in a new one. Your fix allows you to replace the cheap dead switch with ease.

@Brandon's Garage Thanks for the video, where did you order the new handle from? I need one. lol.

Brandon, after the fix (Great Job!), where/ how do I find the "proper" end splice? Where can I find them?

@davekimbler2308 3 жыл бұрын

Quite ingenious if you ask me ! I don’t have a CNC but its doable if you need one ! Lol. I’m picking up a 1978 Johnson 100 hp with controls and harness on Thursday, is that a low tension motor ? I’m swapping a 1960 Evinrude 35hp with harness and controls for it , I’m thinking it’s a good deal , don’t need one but I’ll have one ! Lol

Nice fix, you could achieve something similar with a 3D printer too 👍

Hey there Brandon. Can you tell me, if the propeller on a 1983 evinrude 20 can be replaced for a newer "type" propeller? It's the one with a cone at the end, with a pin through it.

Only addition I can think of would be to take a heat gun to the chalky oxidization on the inner orange part and bring it back to its original color.

@BrandonsGarage 3 жыл бұрын

...would that work? I'll try it!

@DougsMessyGarage 3 жыл бұрын

@@BrandonsGarage It depends on how deteriorated the dye is in the plastic. I once took a mint green Yamaha Rhino and brought it back to a dark forrest green using a heat gun. Likewise, faded plastics on my 90s SeaDoo often can be brought back to original color. Sometimes though, the dye is leached right out of the part and no amount of re-melting the surface is going to bring it back. The lever in you video looks like it would probably come back okay.

I like the trim switch fix , but I have no idea what brand of aftermarket switch you used that fit in the handle

@frankbryant1963 7 ай бұрын

I have the same trouble with my handle and switch. Where can we get the both?

@RedfishCarolina Жыл бұрын

Yep, my switch seems to have quit. Trim motor works fine if you hook it up directly to power.

@shawnross4927 4 ай бұрын

could you use hot glue as just a filler and also easy to remove later?

@danielnicholls6868 3 жыл бұрын

just fill the space with silicone caulking? and assembal before it hardens

@richardwernst 3 жыл бұрын

Maybe I'm missing something about how this assembles, but a small block of plastic the right thickness glued to the back of the switch would hold it just as well???

@BrandonsGarage 3 жыл бұрын

The back on the switch has a piece of metal everywhere the plastic would contact. You would be gluing metal to plastic, in hopes it stayed through the elements of the environment, vibration of the boat, and erratic movement of the operator. This is the same concept, however its shaped so that it cannot move.

Hot melt glue works great! used it several times.

So I just seen a replacement option for this where the switch was epoxied in. It's not serviceable but maybe a solution.

Was this from the dude on ebay?

@dryroasted5599 3 жыл бұрын

I would've just epoxied it in. By the time you need to replace the switch, the whole shift control will be in the weeds.

Nice retrofit. I cannot think of a better workaround than this. P.S. Why so stingy posting new videos? After all, don’t you exist solely for our amusement and education?
