Quick silver
 

Push it and let us know what happened:you:

I think that's the ejector seat....

OK, I pushed it and the out drive fell off.

so after working at putting the out drive back on using a little water proof duct tape I think I have it fixed... but still wonder why they have a out drive ejector button...

quicksilver is mercury's parts company.... IE usually when the merc manual suggests a product it is always branded quicksilver.

The "plastic bulb" kinda makes it sound to me like a circuit breaker... PICS would help ......as always.

Agreed...pics always help answer questions...

Sounds almost like the trailering button to me from the description. The trim and tilt switch in the binnacle is supposed to be limited by the trim limit switch on the outdrive so that you don't accidentally trim the outdrive to high while underway(but the trim limit switch burns out OFTEN, so most are bypassed). So they put a seperate button on the dash to allow you to trim the outdrive the rest of the way up.

I did a little looking around on the internet. Quicksilver brings up a lot. I will be out at the boat on Friday and snap a pic and post it. I can even show you the mess I think I have taken on...

See if this helps:
