I have a 1987 bayliner with a force 125. I recently replaced my tilt/trim motor with a 2w motor. The 87 bayliner had an original 3w motor that had no relays it was a direct wire to the switch. I bought the conversion kit for changing a 3 wire to a 2 wire and hooked it up and nothing works.
This is what I have: Green wire from motor connected to large green wire that goes to relay. Blue wire from motor connected to large blue wire that goes to relay. From the relay the black wire (ground) is hooked up to negative terminal on battery. Red wire from relay (connected to fuse) is hooked up to positive terminal on battery. Small blue wire is connected to blue wire from trim/tilt switch. Small green wire is connected to green wire from trim/tilt switch. Red wire from switch (i believe is ground wire) is connect to negative terminal like is was with old system hooked up.
Old system had 3 wire from the motor. One hooked up to the positive terminal on the battery and the green and blue wire connect to the green and blue wires coming from the tilt/trim switch. The red wire coming from the trim/tilt switch connect to the negative battery terminal. I was thinking that maybe the red wire from switch is causing the problems with the new system, but I am not sure. I am pretty new to anything with electronics. I have searched and searched for some answers but have been unable to find any. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
