cmc t&t

I purchased a cmc pt 130 t&t unit for a pontoon boat and am stumped about wiring. Unit only has 2 wires coming from trim motor toward sw. How does this work, i thought you need a grnd circuit?

Check out the manual in that link to the manufacturer's website.

You need two 40 amp relays to wire it up(just make sure to keep them dry), there is a built-in self-resetting breaker inside the unit itself.

Thanks Huron Angler. I've looked at their manual and realized i need relays and c/b. What realy has me puzzeld is how this works without a grnd wire circuit. Seems to me their should be 3 wires to trim motor unless they using some internal circuitry.

Either the relays act to reverse the direction of current through the trim motor or the motor is grounded.

The motor for the pump only has a positive and negative it is the switch that determines direction, one side of the switch is revesed to make the motor run ''backwards'' but yes you need the relays.

I got a deckhand electric ancor earlier this year and about popped a circuit trying to figure out how to make a dash switch as it involves 6 wires, I just drew it out until it made sense and actually got it to work, me and wiring are not best freinds.

PM me if you need a diagram and/or assistance with wiring.
