I really hope this video helps you to repair your expensive trim switch instead of replacing it. If this is the key to getting you back on the water, will you consider giving me a "Super Thanks"? I'd super appreciate it - your support helps me to continue making helpful, informative and entertaining videos for you on RUclips. Thanks!
Just to say what an excellent video. I followed your instructions and repaired my switch. Saved having to unnecessarily replace a perfectly functional switch. Thanks.
Thank you sir, this had me stumped. Was getting 7 volts to the trim motor from throttle, 12 from engine. Saved me some money and time as this ended up being the fix.
Glad I found this video. I am having the same issue. up and down work on the motor but only down on the throttle. I will be doing this before spending $120 for a new Yamaha OEM switch.
Going to fix this myself and tell hubby, no sweat. He's been procrastinating, so I'm making this executive decision! Thx so much, excellent, easy to follow and see you on the lake or river!
Ha! Super. Had a super problem even getting a fitting switch so did excatly what you describe and could see those dark connectors not functioning and voila! Now it will work for ages again. New piece is like 100€ or so, and totally in vain
Glad you're back in action! I enjoy repairing a part when possible and figuring out how things were designed and function. Thanks for the feedback! It's great to hear that others can find success.
An excellent question. While a broken wire was a definite possibility I just had a gut feeling that it was the switch because of the way it was behaving. I know that's not a definitive answer but the switch was the most likely culprit just because of the way it functions and the way it would wear.
Probably the case. Let it dry out and hopefully youll.be back in service. Having gotten wet, you may have corrosion issues in the future and this video will be the repair if you want to save another $75. 👍
Thank you, I hope it helps you. I don't know the part numbers, but a call to your local boat repair shop or parts desk should yield a good result. You might even find it easily online.
I had same problem on a 2000 Yamaha 150 shift handle. bought a new switch but when I tried to push it in the plastic sleeve on top of shift handle the switch was 1/8” too large and would not fit into the opening. If you know the exact part number it would help me a lot?
I do not know the part #, sorry. Any service department should be able to tell you. You .ight even find a parts diagram online for your year that will have every part's ID #.
Clear Lake California. The Bass factory! There are so many Clear Lakes, but only one that I'll drive 5 hours to get to. I hope the video helped you a little. 👍

What an excellent video! Thank you thank you 1000 thank yous!
Thanks for watching. I take it you found some useful.tips in it? I hope you're back in service and enjoying the rest of Summer.
Great and easy to follow video Thank you!! I have saved it. How did you figure out it was a bad switch versus a broken wire?
An excellent question. While a broken wire was a definite possibility I just had a gut feeling that it was the switch because of the way it was behaving. I know that's not a definitive answer but the switch was the most likely culprit just because of the way it functions and the way it would wear.
My switch is $75 for 704 style. I pressure washed mine and hours later it stopped working.. No dielectric grease on the contacts?
Probably the case. Let it dry out and hopefully youll.be back in service. Having gotten wet, you may have corrosion issues in the future and this video will be the repair if you want to save another $75. 👍
Very useful video, thank you! Do you know what the model or part number is for the throttle handle?

What could be making my 50 Yamaha trim up on its on my all my switches work it did it once while fishing and today while washing my boat
Sounds like a short in the switch or circut somewhere.
What is the long metal piece called? I need to replace mine but can’t find the name of it
Can you give me a time marker in the video to reference the part you are asking about?
