TRIM METER OPERATION
The trim control unit, located on the engine, and the throttle switch, located in the remote control, were
removed to eliminate the intermittent overtrim buzzer sound on the BF40A3
BF50A3 (2003 models). This is
outlined in the
BF40A BFSOA Shop Manual Supplement P/N 61ZV3OOV. The 12 Vdc to 5 Vdc trim control
unit voltage converter function was moved to the Honda 4 wire trim meter. One of these trim meters is
shipped with each BF40A3
BF50A3 trimltilt model outboard.
Connections
for a standard BF40A3 BF50A3 trim meter configuration are shown on page 5-36.
Accessory trim meters will not work on these engines unless a 12 Vdc to
5 Vdc Voltage Conversion Module
(VCM)
P/N 34310-ZV5-01OAH is added to the circuit.
