Could be a Trim Master setup - I am just guessing.

Trim Master went out of business quite a few years ago.

You could try contacting International Marine in VIC.

They might be able to tell you what the standard fitment was when the boat was built....I have had mixed success finding info on Bertie's and Caribbean's over the last couple of years.

You could also try one of the American boating forums, there is a bigger brains trust available in the US by virtue of their population no's.

Grab a couple of photos to put up too. That sometimes helps!

Good luck.

Thanks Tryhard 

Appreciate it  cheers
