Default Quick silver
I have a red button on the dash of my boat. It reads Quick silver with a plastic bulb and a red push button. Anyone know what this is?

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.

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 think you may be right, I am unable to put the outdrive down. It sounds like it is going down but the drive does not move... I'll give that a try, I bet if I hold the button and press the down... things may happen.

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...
