I have a weird issue, which I am assuming is a wiring snafu. I installed two new tilt motor relays on my motor (1977 70 HP Johnson). The motor flies up and down; but, only when I have one of the relays connected. With both relays connected, it moves at a snail's pace. The following is how I have the relays wired up:
Pin 30 - 12 AWG going to motor
Pin 86 - 14 AWG going to switch
Pins 85 and 87 - 14 AWG - each of the 4 wires going to power block
Pin 87A - 12 AWG - each of 2 wires going to negative block
I am using relays from the posted link.
So, do I have something wired wrong? Or is it normal for dual relays to cause a slowdown? There were no relays on the UP or DOWN for the tilt when I purchased the boat. So, this is all new wiring.
Thanks for your help!
