    Looks like trim tab control  box, to me also. There will be a wire going to ignition switch. The newer ones have a tab on them so you can screw it somewhere.
     
    Boat Name :

    I am pretty sure that I read somewhere that the box should be mounted with the wires facing down(like you have it)...

    I have a new trim tab kit coming tomorrow and it has the new 'all in one' control that is part of the switch pad, large and round. Looking forward to seeing how it works.
    And yes 'diggin2day1' is correct, box must be installed on a vertical surface with wires down.

    Absolutely what diggin said about the box.     For some reason it matters.
