Mercury – Trim Adapter (Paddle / Blinker Trim – Standard) | Paddle Trim Breakout | 84-8M0165559

Overview
This adapter gives you a clean way to break out paddle or blinker-style trim control on a console or panel for single-engine setups. It’s a simple link that lets the trim switch talk to the engine without splicing or improvising behind the dash. It’s made for standard paddle-trim use and includes the key needed for installation. On smaller engines—like 10–15 hp—it supports trim-only operation.

Performance & Practical Benefits
This adapter keeps the trim switch feeling steady by giving it a clean, direct connection to the engine. The wiring stays organized, and the trim response feels more natural than it would with a patched-together hookup. It also keeps the console area cleaner, which makes changes or service easier down the road.

Why Buy OEM
OEM adapters match Mercury’s wiring layout exactly. They stay tight under vibration, handle spray and heat well, and avoid the weak connections that can show up with generic parts.
