Not necessarily just for everyone that helped but also people that are not members that still get these threads as a response to their google searches. I searched probably hundreds of posts (not on iboats)and seen many people having...

    78/79 johnson 85hp tilt trim wiring

    Ok guys so I’ve done numerous tests and this will not pass power. I’ve stumbled on a couple of other guys having the same issue with no answers so I’m starting to think that the solenoid coils are putting up more resistance than the original. I’ve addressed every possible concern so my next step...

    It all keeps boiling down to the relay. The motor works fine in both directions with direct voltage. Is there any chance that an automotive relay is to blame vs a marine relay?

    I cut out the switch and touched red(power) to green which obviously works but touching to blue won’t. Which tells me it’s not the switch, correct?

    78/79 johnson 85hp tilt trim wiring

    Yea and the old solenoid was definitely the problem but the two new ones won’t pass power-it will start and everything but will not pass power when trim switch is activated. No fuses/relays aside from the in-line shown. 3wire trim switch and only uses one solenoid
