Those are manuals for the motors not the drives.
To answer your question you'll have to let people know what drive serial number you have. Or at least the model.

I'm not working on anything at the moment I was just asking a general question on what manual would be considered the manual for the power trim. I know they have a separate manual for the controllers and I didn't remember ever seeing one for the trim so I asked.

R/MR/Alpha One is #6. Gen II is #14. If an older MC-1 drive would be #1, 2, or 3 depending on model/serial number

Bravo is #11, 28, 39 or the latest aptly named Bravo Sterndrive manual

Are speaking of the drive trim, or the trim tabs? Or an exotic drive trim system.

Don't recall ever seeing a "controller" for the drive trim, just the pump assembly controlled by a simple switch on the helm.

tilt/trim system is covered in the drive manuals as its part of the drive system

there is no controller other than the limit switches and a relay

I am talking about the drive trim system ( pump and rams )
Don't recall ever seeing a "controller" for the drive trim, just the pump assembly controlled by a simple switch on the helm.
I was speaking of the remote control for the shifting and throttle. I was just making a general statement,
( I know they have a separate manual for the controllers ) This statement was just to say they had a separate manual for the controllers so I assumed they had one for the trim pump system.

I now know that the only place to find the pump system repair and troubleshooting info is in the drive manual..
