Ok recently I swapped motors on atoon from a old glastron. I was able to use toons controls wiring ect except toon did not have tilt and trim and motor i pulled has tilt and trim. I was unable to salvage tilt and trim wiring and switch from glastron so I cliped the 3 wires going to the tilt and trim. Now the motor is mounted and running on this pontoon I would like to hook up tilt and trim.. Besides a switch to run it what else do I need. Any relays needed? The tilt and trim worked on old boat .....

The three wire motor on the older PT&T used a solenoid in a box mounted near the motor to provide the power without overloading the switch wiring.

Unless you use a high amperage switch located at or very near the motor, you will need to buy or build a similar solenoid system.
