Im wondering if anyone on the boards can make or does make a mechanical trim indicator system for a 20'' mercury mid? Ive seen them around for 15" from different places on the web but never 20. Or any ideas on making one?

There's a few brackets for the 20" mid and slides made by a few as well.

As Boomer said though , support your local guy and just buy the 20" bracket used on S&F etc

Retails for over 600usd for just the actuator... little much for me. Looking back is cheap lol

MOTOboat pmd me and says he has a stainless marine setup. Just waiting to hear what he wants for it. And a nice red billet indicator from hevi kevi would finish it off.

I've got a stainless marine actuator.
It works on both 15" & 20" HP / OS mids.
Kevi, if you want to take measurements off mine youre more then welcome to.
I've also got an HP bass mid you could use to make a prototype if you want.
