It will work the way you have it wired, but: You will need the solenoid. It's the "up" movement that takes all the current. If you continue to use the 3 position switch direct for the up movement, you will burn the up that half of the switch sooner. That solenoid is to take the brunt of the heavy current so that you don't have to replace the trim switch every few months.
