I have a question. Not sure what I’m doing to post on here so I hope I don’t mess anything up or upset anyone. I’m old lol. I recently got a 1985 mercury 50 two-stroke that has the old MerCruiser style trim pump that is mounted underneath the back of my boat now. Restored the boat rewired everything. Everything worked. Perfect. I had engine only on switch one on two. I had all my house electronics, and now that I wired the trim pump no matter if the battery often on switches on one or two I have everything. I don’t know where I went wrong. The trim pump has its own positive and negative which I put on the starting battery. And I did put a up-and-down switch on the back to trim the motor up. Also if I was standing at the back of the boat. It has its own positive which is going to the positive on the starting battery. And then up and down, which is where the green and blue wires are so what I done Was took the blue and green from the motor where the harness plugs into the motor down and run my blue wire and green wire from the switch and hook those together and then out of those into the blue and green wire on the trim pump.
