Mercury – Trim Sender Digital | 140 Horsepower FourStroke | Digital Trim Feedback | 8M0076463

Overview

Most boaters do not think about their trim sender until it stops doing its job. When it works the way it should, it feels almost invisible—quietly telling you where the engine sits as you ease onto plane or settle into a long run. The Mercury Digital Trim Sender for 140 horsepower FourStroke engines brings that same easy confidence back into your setup. It gives you clean, steady trim information without making a fuss about it, and that kind of reliability matters when you’re out there dealing with wind, chop, and whatever else the day throws at you.

If your engine came from the factory set up for digital trim, this is the sender that keeps everything talking the way it should. You trim up, the bow lifts, and your display follows along without hesitation. Simple, familiar, and trustworthy.

Performance & Practical Benefits

A good trim sender does not draw attention to itself—it just gives you the information you need when you need it. With this one, the signal stays steady even when you’re bouncing through boat wakes or working against a stiff breeze. The reading on your screen matches what the engine is actually doing, which makes trimming the boat feel natural instead of guessy.

On the water, the difference shows up in small ways. You can bump the trim up a touch and feel the hull free itself without wondering if the display is behind. You can bring the bow down to punch through a chop line and trust that the angle on the screen is telling the truth. The fit is snug, the movement is smooth, and once installed, most owners forget about it—exactly how a trim sender should behave.

Thanks to corrosion-resistant materials, it holds its accuracy season after season. Saltwater, freshwater, humidity—none of it tends to shake this sender loose. It’s meant to last, not drift out of spec after a few months.

Why Buy OEM

Mercury parts have a certain feel to them. They fit right the first time, they talk cleanly with the rest of the system, and they hold up. Aftermarket versions may look close, but the communication and long-term stability usually tell a different story out on the water. With the Mercury digital sender, you’re putting back exactly what the engine was designed to run.

You’re also saving yourself from doing the job twice. An OEM sender stays accurate, avoids the odd glitches cheaper versions create, and keeps your trim readings dependable long after installation day.
