Bracket unit
PTT sensor
This model is equipped with a PTT sensor that detects the trim and tilt angle of the outboard throughout
the full range of movement from fully tilted down to fully tilted up. The end of the pin on the tilt rod fits
into the PTT sensor that is installed to the swivel bracket. The pin is secured in the tilt rod and when the
swivel bracket moves vertically, the relative angle between the pin and the sensor changes. This
change is used to detect the trim and tilt angles of the outboard motor. While the outboard motor is tilted
up from the fully tilted down position “A”, the relative angle becomes smaller. When the outboard motor
is in the fully tilted up position “B”, the PTT sensor is almost parallel to the tilt rod.
In addition, because the sensor is completely waterproof due to its mounting structure, durability is in-
creased.
