Hello I am having an issue and am frusterated, I have just installed a tilt and trim on my 84 evenrude 70 when I hard wire right to battery t&t works I have bought 2 relays and have hooked them up they click and hum but i
get nothing to the to the t&t. both wires from the T&T are hooked up corectly what else can it be I followed the diagrams exactly. Im stumped

Re: Power tilt and trim issue

when a relay hums it means theres a voltage drop. can you post the diagram and a picture of the relays so we can see what you have. wire gauge to the relays or a connection could be the problem but with out seeing what you have then its just guessing

this way should work fine do you have a volt meter? also if the prewired bases have colored wire can you tell what color is what number........when you say female clips do you mean that you are crimping ends on the wire and the ends were designed for 18g wire

Yes they are designed for 18g wire

Re: Power tilt and trim issue

Could that be my issue?

i think 1984 70HP is a 3w motor. the wiring diagram is for a 2w motor. try disconnecting post 87a on both relays.

Re: Power tilt and trim issue

14g wire is pushing your luck (ok if its real short to where its getting power) but if you are thining the wire to make it go in a 18g connector then thats a real problem and will cause a voltage drop when loaded

RRitt beat me to it unplug the post as he says and try. But humming buzzing any sounds of that nature is like previously said not enough voltage to open or close the relay. Try feeding power from the battery directly to the switch side before the relay and see if you get a response up or down. Eliminate weak or faulty contacts.

Re: Power tilt and trim issue

Could it possibly be the sending unit. What exactly does it do I noticed a small break in the wire

Re: Power tilt and trim issue

What g wire should I be using

Re: Power tilt and trim issue

first you need to ans rritt .....how many wires does the trim pump have on it 2 (green/blue) or 3 (green/blue/black) ?

Re: Power tilt and trim issue

2 wires I believe

Re: Power tilt and trim issue

There is what I thought was a kill switch that after looking online I now realize if is a sending unit I have nothing hooked up to that yet it has 3 wires but the t&t motor only has 2

Re: Power tilt and trim issue

Just green and blue

Re: Power tilt and trim issue

2 wires I believe

ok if it only has 2 wires then the drawing is correct if it has 3 thats a diffrent drawing. 14g if the wire is not to long on the 30-87a-87 terminals. do not try to jam 2 wires in one female spade connector unless its a yellow (10g) connectors for single wires should be blue (12-14g). wires on 85-86 can be smaller.

ignore the sender for now as thats just to make the gauge on the dash work

Thank you for everything I'm going to buy 10g connectors and wire in the morning I will let you know how I make out .
