I have a 1989 Sea Ray and we have everything else working, I have been to the Sea Ray site and printed the owners manual but in 1989 they did not include wiring diagrams. I need the diagram or schematics if it exists. I know the ground goes over but I do not know which wire or color it goes to. I can not get the trim motor to even come on but all of the other switches work.

Thank you for the welcome, obviously new at this....the motor is a 350 mercury....... The Trim did work but isn't now. Everything else works the blower, the lights, the pump but now I can't get the trim to go up or down.

Ayuh,... Sky blue is always Up, 'n green grass is always Down...

The switches send to power to the direction ya wanta go...

Yer lower, Trailer Tilt switch, by-passes the trim limit switch, to go Full up...
The switch at the thumb, goes Through the limit circuit....

That's impossible, you can't make a single solenoid go up and down.
