00:00Trim Center vs Gear Lube Monitor, which wins voiceover script.
00:04Quick reality check before we start, if you're weighing a trim center against a gear lube
00:08monitor, the trim center is the part that actually dies on you and it takes your gauge
00:12reading with it. So I dug up the 5 best trim center deals on the market right now.
00:18Everyone is under 60 bucks, and everyone has thousands of buyers behind it.
00:23First up, the Volvo Penta A32-52 DPSX TSK Center, part numbers 384-9411-385-5535 and here's
00:33the thing, it also fits OMC engines. That cross-compatibility is the whole reason to grab
00:38it, one part covers two boat brands, so you're not hunting two SKUs. 3550, 4.8 stars, almost
00:465,000 sold. Best value in the whole list. Next, the ingenious 2X359-4989-2Wire, built for
00:55the SXC, SXC1, SXC2, DPS and DPSM from 1998 to 2001, also listed under 386-3129-385-4842
01:05and 386-1837. This is the most expensive one at $54.44 and it earns it with the tightest year
01:12and model coverage here. If your drive is a 1998 to 2001 SXC or DPS, this is the one
01:19that just bolts on and works. Then the multi-purpose 2148-4383-384-1840 sender for the DPSA, DPSB
01:28and SXA drives. 3246, cheapest pick on the page and it still holds a 4.8 with over 4,600
01:36sold.
01:37If you just want the job done for the least money and your drive is a DPSA, DPSB or SXA,
01:42stop shopping here. Fourth is the near twin, same 2148-4383 and 384-1840 numbers, this one with
01:50the A54R suffix, for the same DPSA, DPSB and SXA drives. 3331, 4.7 stars, 4,100 sold. Basically a
02:02buck
02:02more for the exact suffix match, worth it if your old unit sticker reads F54R. All 5 links
02:08are in the description, with the model fitment spelled out on each one. Match your drive,
02:14not your wallet. If this saved you a headache, hit like and subscribe, more of these breakdowns coming.
