They come in red green or blue .

My daughter used her Cricket machine to cut out the letters so co-anglers can easily see which one is the up button.

I worn out the Trim UP switch boot and yes they are switched around so I can get my foot to the Up button easier.

2010 SHO is periodically charging to +17 Vdc every once in a while triggering a High Voltage warning on the Humminbird.

Is it just a matter of swapping the voltage regulator or is it an integral component of the charging system?

Or is it due to the new battery?

See what your graph alarm is set at.  If it is 13.8 to 14.2 volts, you will almost never see that without the engine running.  Anything over 12 is fine. 12.3 –  12.4 is ok.   Maybe a new battery will show 12.5-12.6

Yes if you must have the low voltage alarm on then set it to a “low voltage state” some where around 11
