The Mercury Engine Mounted Trim Switch with Bullet Connectors (8M0042301) is a genuine OEM replacement switch designed to deliver dependable trim and tilt control for Mercury and Mariner outboards ranging from 25HP to 400HP (model years 1999 and newer). Installed on the engine’s rear lower cowling, this switch allows for quick and convenient trim adjustments directly at the motor, helping you optimise boat performance in changing water conditions.
Unlike the plug-style version (8M0042300), this model features bullet connectors, ideal for outboards that utilize this wiring style. The bullet connectors offer a secure and weather-resistant fit, while still allowing for easy installation and maintenance. Whether you’re replacing a damaged switch or upgrading from an older unit, this part ensures seamless integration and reliable operation.
With durable construction built to handle harsh marine environments, the 8M0042301 is resistant to corrosion, UV exposure, moisture, and engine vibration. The tactile switch buttons are clearly marked for “trim up” and “trim down,” offering smooth feedback for accurate adjustments—even when operating in rough water or with gloved hands.
This switch replaces earlier Mercury part numbers 87-8569901 and 87-896620001, ensuring broad compatibility across a range of models. It is the ideal choice for boat owners who require a high-quality, OEM-grade solution to restore full trim function right from the engine.
