I have a 1983 4 Winns with a Mercruiser 470 in/out. The wiring to the trim sensors failed so the trim would only go down, not up. Thinking I could bypass the failed sensors I direct wired from the connections on the motor to the trim pump. Now the fuse on the trim pump blows after about 1 second of operation. I could really use a wiring diagram or better yet some advise as to how to get the pump back to working. I don't think I need the sensors to work. Can someone help me to correct this problem?

Ayuh,......

Put the wiring you Changed back where you found it,......

Then,.. Back at the transom plate, inside the boat, there's the Black wires coming from the sensor,.. They are connected by a pair of Bullet Connectors,....
Unplug them there,+ plug it back together, By-passing the Sensor.....

Yeah, that $95 sensor lasts about one year.
