How to mount bow tilt/trim switch?

[Rudy Brown]

Hello Guys, on my 1984 Cimmarron bass boat, E90TLCR motor. I have a tilt/trim switch on the bow by the trolling motor. The problem is it only works with the key switch turned on. Is there a way to wire the switch so the key dosent have to be on to tilt the motor? And I was told its not a good idea to leave the switch on while fishing. Kinda a pain to get up from fishing to just lift the motor. Thanks, Rudy.

It shoiuld not be tied into the key.<br /><br />Do the other trim stations work without the key? They should.<br /><br />You can tap directly into to tilt/trim wiring at the control box gear/throttle handle. You will need a three position switch, which I'm assuming you already have. If you do not, you need a momentary ON-OFF-ON type.<br /><br />The tilt/trim wires are:<br /><br />Blue=UP<br /><br />Red=Hot (power all the time)<br /><br />Green=Down.

Moving to outboard, non-repair...
