Has anybody ever seen or fit a mechanical drive trim indicator to a Volvo drive? I re-rigged my triple hatch 18' with a Volvo 270T which is similar to a standard 270 but includes a hydraulic trim feature.

I have the stock Volvo trim indicator which is quite funky and works mediocre at best. Would love to install a mechanical indicator if I can fiqure out a way to attach it to the drive.
Thanks for any thoughts!

Jeff, can you post a picture of your drive with the trim ram? I have the standard 270 drive on my 1972 Hornet and would love to have trim eventually. Thanks for your help.

I'll post a photo over the weekend. RH, note that the two drives and transon assemblies are quite different. I believe it would be nearly impossible to convert a standard 270 O/D to a hydraulic trim set-up.
