I know this is long, but trying to give all the history. I would apprecaite any help I can get. I am just about at wits end.<br /><br />PART 1<br />Here is a little history: <br />81 Wellcraft V20 Straight 6 140hp with Mercruiser<br />outdrive bought on ebay for $1000 in NJ last summer. <br /> <br />Boat has not been run yet. Mechanic was able to hand turn the motor and stated it look as good as it could, without running it. <br /> <br />Work done in last 8 months: <br />1. Removed both side panel gas tanks, inspected,<br />cleaned, and reinstalled. <br />2. New fuel water separator <br />3. New oil filter / oil change <br />4. New plugs <br />5. New anti-reverse switch <br />6. New Trim pump <br />7. Much new wiring <br />8. New fish finder <br />9. New radio <br />10. New radio antenna <br />11. New ignition switch <br />12. New Solenoids <br />13. Patched some "suspected" Hull dents and dings <br />14. Replaced entire wheel on trailer <br />15. New trailer lights <br />16. Replace all fuel lines <br />17. New bilge pump and wiring <br />18. New bilge blower and wiring <br />19. Clean nasty dirty bilge <br />20. Miscellaneous parts (bilge cover, tie down,<br />etc..) <br />21. Replaced dashboard with homemade. <br />Left to do: <br />1. Finish up some random wiring <br />2. Find frame for center windshield and side<br />windshield. <br />3. Wash and wax hull (more for protection then looks)<br />4. Paint bottom (even though trailered) <br />5. Replaced water pump (just in case)<br />6. change lower unit oil (once I figure out how)<br /> <br />Typed out it it doesn't seem as much work as it felt like trying to get it all done. LOL <br /> <br />So finally to my question. I replaced the trim pump, but it is wired slightly different then the one it replaced. Off the top of this one are 2 black wires that come off a bolt of a bracket that holds the solenoid on. I assume they are some sort of ground. Can someone tell me where they go? Is this where the ground to something else attaches or are these grounds for the pump, if they are grounds at all? <br /> <br />PART 2<br />Last night I put the trim pump in with the following results: <br /> <br />1. I put the switch on the dash. <br />2. I ran the wiring harness to the back. <br />3. Plugged the red plug into the front of the pump. <br />4. The was a purple and blue wire with connectors on them, I connected those to the connectors in my boat that matched. <br />5. I left the black wires unattached (they appear to be a ground for something else??) and did not top off the fluid yet though. There is fluid in it. <br />6. I connected the red wire to the "+" on the battery and the black wire to the "-" on the battery. <br /> <br />Here is what it does. When I hit the bottom button on the switch panel, the pump will make a sound like it is working, but the out drive does not move at all. <br />The outdrive is currently in the up position. <br />The top and the middle button don't do anything at<br />all. No noise, no outdrive movement, nothing. <br /><br />I attached a wiring diagram, picture of the boat, and a picture of the trim pump with the "mystery wires" pointed out.<br /> <br />What have I done wrong? What else can I check? Where do I go from here. <br /> <br />
