Here goes.
I cannot control the power trim from the console. I have two 3-way switches, one on each side of the handle. One is trim and one is tilt? I would assume one is for using while on the boat in the water, the other to use for trailering, am I correct in this?
Trim pump works, with jumpers. I'm looking at the manual and all it shows is the trim set up that I don't have. I have a 1990 Bayliner Cuddy, 4.3L Merc, Alpha Drive. I disconnected the harness assembly. tried to take voltage readings from the trim switches back to the harness, looking for 12V. but I started looking and I think that the switches get the power from the 12V connection on the harness from the trim pump side. I need help to figure this out.
Also I was reading another thread about jumpering the trim limit switches, which is what I want to do. I have seen the loose wires outside of the outer transom assy. So I know that one is bad. I was looking around today and noticed there were two sets of wires going into the outdrive both look like they are going to trim limit switches. So how do you jumper those. Looks to me like maybe they had dual trim limit switches that are both bad, that would make the power trim switches at the dash not work right?
Thanks for your response
