I have purchased Lenco actuators to replace my Bennett actuators. I haven't installed them yet. I have the standard up/down switches that came with the kit, but I was wondering if I could wire the Lencos into my shift lever instead of using the supplies switches.. My shift lever has 4 switches and only two are used for raising and lowering the outdrive. I really don't care to have the trim tabs operate independently, I just want them move together using one up and one down switch. Does that make sense? Would I just wire the up wires from each actuator to the up switch on the shift lever and same for the down wires? I haven't really looked at the wiring in shift lever or the new tabs yet, I just thought I'd do some asking before I get into it. If I could do this, it seems like the trim tab operation would be way simpler since I wouldn't have to take my hand off of the shift lever. Pretty much all I do with the boat is pull skiers, tubers, kneeboarders and it's kinda hard to adjust the throttle and tabs at the same time. A little help please.
