help please, power trim blowing fuse

[dfp1999]

This one is a bit tricky, I have a 91 johnson 200 and for some reason when I trim the engine while the motor is running, i keep blowing the main 20 amp fuse to the engine losing all power to my gauges and trim, becoming a bit dangerous, trim wont blow fuse if motor is not running and works fine.... I would appreciate any helpsomeone might have Dan P Stuart, Fl

give some thought to the cable harness, it might be storting out as it bends when the motor trims.

another thought if it blows while under power it could mean the trim is working harder to trim motor and hence more current, also give some thought to the wiring circuits is the trim connected through this fuse or should it be separate fused

Is it blowing the engine fuse, or a separate trim fuse?
