what are possible contributing issues? This started when wake came over transom-new trim motor and 2 relays-just installed thank you AndyDisconnect switch on cowling.---Then disconnect switch on the control box.
The controls to the motor are new johnson controls-I had the trim motor replaced oem and two new relays installed. Things were fine for several days of use .I was anchored and took on some boat wake spilling over the transom. I heard the trim motor kick on for a couple of seconds-then after a couple more waves, the trim kicked on and stayed going in the down position-I hit the up toggle the trim motor stops but does not go up--once released the trim goes to the down cycle. I popped off one relay to stop the trim motor-The engine and area have been drying out for a couple of days-still have same scenarioMost often water gets into the toggle type switches. This can complete the circuit, running the trim motor, with the switch in the off position. Generally motor mounted PTT switches are fairly water resistant. Are your switches OEM or aftermarket?

The relay receptacle was melted-this trim motor was just installed-question was the wiring connection a possible flaw by the mechanic -dont mind paying for a issue that comes up-seems more then a coincidenceyes on multi meter-will trace today ty
