Re: power tilt trim brushes

think i got it sussed the mechanical points down at the brushes are actually a mettalic strip that opens when the moter is put under load and cutts the trim moter out . i just soldered the points together but i guess ill have to be carefull when triming moter not to exceed its limit or ill burn the moter out heres hoping
