Hello,

During the early spring I attempted to fix a trim tilt problem on my 20' Starcraft American 165 HP. The issue when I obtained the boat was the tilt trim went down but would not go up. I replaced the up solenoid and I could get it to go up by jumping the solenoid. The up toggle and the trailer toggle did nothing. I played around with some of the connections on the up / down toggle and the trailer toggle and now I'm in big trouble!!

My trouble now is that when I plug in the main motor plug into the socket my trim motor turns on and the motor goes up and does not stop!! I need to disconnect one of the small wires on the solenoid to make it stop. With or without the solenoid disconnected there are no other functions, no instrument lights or motor start.

I have a nice mercruser manual with a basic trim /tilt diagram but I was hoping someone might have a diagram that has the Trim /Tilt AND the Trailer switch so that I can reconnect the connections in their original configuration.

Thanks and have a great day!!
