Hello friends,<br /> I have a power trim that is installed inside the boat. My previous trim motor for some reason started triming down to the point of ruining the trim motor completely.<br /> I have since replaced the motor, however, i now have trouble getting the trim to work up and down using the 3 switches ( one in the back of the boat, one in the front and one in on the control). I have used the 3 wires from trim motor and operated the trim like that ( black wire to pos.terminal of batt. grn or blue to the other side of the Batt). however i d like to go through the 2 solenoids. I d like to thank you all for all the suggestions before hand that you might have for me.<br /><br />:))

The black wire needs to go to ground. The blue wire to the large post of one solenoid and the green wire to the large post of the other solenoid. The other large post of each solenoid should have battery voltage on them. The small post should have a small blue on the up solenoid and a small green wire on the down solenoid. The other small post should be grounded.
