Wiring a Tilt switch

[JonRiley56]

Hi,<br /><br />I just picked up a used CMC titl unit that I am going to use with my outboard. It did not come with a tilt switch so I was just going to wire it in to a On/Off/ON rocker switch.<br /><br />Can anyone tell me how to wire it correctly ?<br /><br />thanks <br /><br />jon

Thanks ! The switch has three posts. I assume that the hot wire from the battery goes to the middle post and that the two wires into the CMC unit go to the other two.<br /><br />Is that right ?<br /><br />jon

Better be a fairly high current switch. Normally the switch operates UP and DOWN relays that carry the current to the motor.

It is a 25A switch. I guess the worst that could happen is I smoke the switch right ?<br /><br />jon
