Re: Wiring Power Trim

I can't find a Bass Tracker on the forum list here at Iboats.
The Johnson trim is pretty basic. Did you buy the trim solenoids?
The trim switch in the control handle runs to a small box near the transom that holds the solenoids,then the wiring comes out and goes to the trim pump.
It should be a green,red and blue wire going from the control back..
Some pics may help us figure it out..

Re: Wiring Power Trim

yes there are three wires green,red,blue, they end in a female end, rubber boot with five terminals in side, I haven't looked for a trim solenoid, I know the trim unit has just two wires, also my boat has trim buttons on the bow so it can be operated from the front of the boat. this probably explains why there double the amount of wires from the throttle handle back to the rubber boot.
