Solid State Relay's for Trim/Tilt System.

Re: Solid State Relay's for Trim/Tilt System.

Even if they were available, why would you want to use them for the trim/tilt? Been boating since I was 13 and I am 55 and have never had to replace a trim relay.

So how much is it and do you have a link?

So when are you yanking all the relays out of your boat and installing all of these? You going to post pictures when you are done?

Then write a letter to Mercruiser and Volvo Penta and ask them why they don't do it.

Went out to start my car today. 2013 Civic Si . Been sitting there for a week buried in a foot and a half of snow. Didnt even have enough power in the battery to unlock the door. What the hell? Put the charger on the battery . Opened up the trunk and noticed the Rockford Fosgate sub woofer was on even though I had the keys in my hand. Unplugged the trigger wire . Still on. My faith in DC to DC SSR's didnt gain much momentum today.

Re: Solid State Relay's for Trim/Tilt System.

Opening up the trigger may not be enough. You may have to actually drive it low.

We have all sorts of solid state power switching devices on the products we design and sell. We have very strict power up sequencing. We have devoted processors just for power up and for card hot swaps.

Kinda overkill to use solid state for a trim system though.

Funny this....

Yep...power will stay fixed. That is why run time remains same.

You are really recommending him to go with 5 batteries? You do realize that your example of 24V 500 Amp hour would require 10 100 AH 12V batteries right? :facepalm:

Orrrrrrrr,

the OP can install a nuclear reactor. He can heat his coffee that way too! :faint2:

Ive lost enough mid range and high range hearing over the years between working in breweries, bottle shops and sitting in the back of howitzers that a little amplification is nice if I want to actually hear music. Cheaper than hearing aids.

Its OK. I can make it work. I'll just wire in a mechanical relay to bypass the mosfet.
