Power Trim Relays

[9533Zero]

One of my relays on the power trim motor is bad. I looked on iboats and found the pump motors but don't see the relays listed. Anyone have a source? Thanks!

Depends on what we are working on, and 87 sunbird doesn't help at all.
This link should help.

It's the engine and drive manufacturer we need in order to answer your questions.

Sorry guys. Its an 89 mercruiser 3.0 with an Alpha One drive. Drive goes down but not up unless I jump across the relay. I was going to replace the relay but haven't found them online. Do they sell just the relays? Thanks again!

Re: Power Trim Relays

First, you don't have relays, you have solenoids. Next go up to the Adults Only sticky at the top of this forum and download the OEM service manual for your drive.
#6 should be the one you want. Then look at the section on troubleshooting. Complete details on how to check out your trim problem, with a wiring diagram.
It's probably just a faulty trim limit switch and not the relay, but only one way to find out.
