Prodrive trim switch
Where can I find one that is not $50.00 plus shipping? That just seems a little pricey to me.

Re: Prodrive trim switch
I called prodrive a couple days ago to price my reverse switch (the plastic kind without the rubber boot), and the guy I talked to priced it at $16.31. I have read on here how pricey they were so I jumped on it. He wouldn’t tell me how much shipping costed but it ended up being another $16.. but I guess I still came out ahead.
Not sure how much of a price difference there is between the rev and the trim switch.

Prodrive trim switch
The reverse and trim switches are the same. Snap a pic of the one you get and post it on here....that's a fraction of what I have paid in the past.....kinda chaps me a bit if they are selling those things for that cheap!

Re: Prodrive trim switch
Right Troy. In the past before I did the solenoids, I paid over $60 for a damn switch.

Re: Prodrive trim switch
I'm thinking it was somewhere in the neighborhood of $68 after taxes and shipping...and I went through at least one a year. Thank you reversing solenoid!

Re: Prodrive trim switch
Right, those switches are about $10 bucks. They can use those switches now because PD went ahead and copied a design from people on here (including me) and and starting using a hydraulic selector valve with a solenoid. You can now run both the trim and rev from one pump and it all runs through a reversing solenoid. Go to any hardware store and pick up a (mom on) -off - (mom on) rocker switch and place it in there. The switches we used were a winch switch rated at much higher amps. The way it is now, the sloenoid takes all the amp draw and the switch simply makes contact to send power to trim pump.
