Super User slonezp Posted April 6, 2014 Super User Posted April 6, 2014 I need some suggestions. I have a Lund with sea star hydraulic steering and a tilt wheel. I purchased this FingerFlex Steering Trim | T-H Marine but it turns out it is not designed for tilt steering. Before I have the mechanic install the hot foot, I need another suggestion for the trim switch. It kind of defeats the purpose of the hot foot if I have to take my hands off the wheel to adjust the trim. I need some suggestions quick. Ice should be gone by next weekend Quote
Super User slonezp Posted April 6, 2014 Author Super User Posted April 6, 2014 It has been suggested elsewhere that Teleflex Pro Trim will work on seastar hydraulic tilt steering. Can anyone confirm this for me? Thanks Quote
Crappiebasser Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 I have the teleflex on my Ranger with tilt steering. It mounts flat to the end of the steering column instead of around it. I think it would work for you. Quote
BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted April 6, 2014 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted April 6, 2014 I have the teleflex single on my triton. If I remember correctly it mounted just behind the steering wheel and should tilt with the wheel. Quote

Super User WIGuide Posted April 10, 2014 Super User Posted April 10, 2014 I'm pretty sure it'll still work on tilt steering. It goes behind the wheel and will tilt with it. I don't think there'd be pinching issues with the wire, but I can't say for sure. Your other options would be the one way2slow pointed out otherwise they make a trim switch for your other foot. http://www.thmarine.com/products/Outboard-Performance/Trim-Switches/Hot-Trim-Foot-Trim-Control Quote
