I have the following trim gauge for my boat: http://www.autometer.com/2-1-16-trim-level-up-down-marine-carbon-fiber.html As stated in the title, it's a mechanical gauge functioning just like a fuel gauge with a resistance-based sender. For fuel gauges, it makes sense for them to be slow to respond to changes. Otherwise, fuel sloshing in the tank could make the needle bounce all over the place. For the trim gauge though, it's too slow and doesn't represent the current position of the boat motor until 3 - 5 secs after I release the button to raise/lower it.
I have not taken the gauge apart yet to see what's inside, but any thoughts on whether it's achievable for me to make this more sensitive?
