Blinker trim is the way to go. I've used both and prefer the blinker. I've got two on my boat steering column - on the right side, I have engine trim, on the left side, I have jackplate height.

Works great.



All the best,

Glenn,



Any rhyme or reason for the trim on the right and the plate on the left? Reason I ask is that most of the people I know arounf here are opposite. I only have trim and mine is on the right too. I like it better over there because if I happen to stand next to the wheel I wont accidently activate the trim....



Just curious.

Mini,

My last 4 boats had it rigged on the right from the dealership. When I bought the Triton, it was also on the right. So when I installed the jack plate blinker trim, I just stuck it 180 degrees opposite. It just seems natural. I'm right handed, so I also like controls I use a lot to be on my right side.

All the best,

Glenn
