Getting rid of the relays

[Lou C]

Same with the fuel injection salesperson. He came through the auto and outboard motor industries and EFI replaced carburetors.

Ahh no it was the un-elected EPA bureaucrats who forced that.

I found the info I have on the actuator (from when I bought the boat)

Thomson Electrak GX DC 12-10A5-30

It was originally thought that the actuator was bad, but it turned out to be the relays . . . But I recorded the actuator P/N in case I needed to order one.

We've gotten rid of all mechanical relays over the years and replaced them with Solid State Relays (SSR)

You could use 2 single relays or go with a purpose built DC motor reversing solid state relay

Put a TVS diode across the two motor leads
