Force Trim Relay Cross Over

[ddrieck]

Hey All,
I had a tilt/trim relay go bad on my 1991 Force 150hp outboard this weekend. I had no luck finding one at the two marinas in the area so I went to NAPA and they were a big help. Turns out any five pin 12 volt 30 amp dual pole relay will work.

The part number for the relay I got is: V10041 AR143

So if you can't wait to order a Force part or your local bot dealer/Marina doest have the Force part, this will get you back on the water and fishing.

I have had this as a reaccuring issue with my 93' 40hp Motor, i've gone through 3 of them in the the life of this motor and I'm going to pick up the 4th now. I'm hoping that just replacing both of them will fix it.

I originally went to the Merc dealership and these relays are around $60 a PIECE! Go to napa and get them for around $9!!!

Thats what I did, went to NAPA and got two for $16 and change.

Started this post to help out the Force oners and save them some time and money. My local Merc dealer wanted $36.00 a piece for them....I don't think so!!!! I can get them whole sale but didn't want to wait on UPS.

Bosch 150 [last three numbers of relay] relays also work and are rated at 30 amp , they are used for everything from stereo's to electric windows[after market]

You can mail order these things in a waterproof flavor from parts express (used with car security and car stereo) for about $3 each. They are so cheap and universal that every toolbox should carry a spare. That way when the Evinrude guy at the dock wishes he had a trim relay ... you can sell him yours for a mere $40.
