wires to "hotwire" trim pump to lower alpha outdrive

[trucknutz36582]

I'm excited! just about at the finish line here, replacing all moving parts on this boat with new...
If only it would stop raining!!!

I love this site, and you guys are awesome! I appreciate all the sage advice! this site has helped me stay sane (ok, sort of) :bounce::crazy:

I already tried removing the hydraulic connections at the trim pump, but the drive did not lower.
I screwed up - disconnected the driveshaft to the bellhousing connection and had seatow pull my motor , but forgot to lower the drive before removing batteries and old wiring . what wires do I have to connect to drop it down?

As you can see, I pretty much need to jumper straight from a battery to the pump since
nothing is connected up right now. but i'm not sure which wires on the pump relays to jumper, and don't want to ruin anything.





Thanks

Connect 12V to Red wire and Negative to the Black. Then jump 12V to the lower solenoid Green/White small terminal

I hope you pull the drive before you refit the engine.

I hope you pull the drive before you refit the engine.

it looks to be a "jack shaft" setup so I don't think that is needed... but it would not be the 1st time I was wrong :faint2:

@ AllDodge Thank you - I will try that this evening
bman440440 - You are correct,




nonetheless - I am pulling it so I can take the gimbal apart - the steering arm is rusted and flaking - I don't trust it.
and I really don't want to use the drill and fill method of getting to the steering pin .

I have the stainless replacement in hand along with a new transom assembly gasket and a couple spare studs because I get the feeling i will be needing them.
