Wiring a 3 wire trim/tilt pump to throttle handle switch

[Captndrydock]

Depending on how far the wires are ran?? you could use 12g. wire but the 10g would be the best.
When they started using the relays, I had a boat with twin 88/85's both had the system. Got to be more problematic the older it got.
I ended up carrying new relays and butt connectors in my bag of tricks.
The "up" was more of a problem(used more).

Well I'm persuaded and decided to install solenoids. I went with solenoids instead of relays. My best understanding is 3 wire motors were better with the solenoids. And hopefully they are more robust than a relay... All pretty new to me and still learning.

Thanks for your help!

How can it go up more times than it goes down ?

It works harder going up, more strain as you trim it up.
Going down is easier on the system.

The 3 wire motors basically the same as the 2
The 2 was used by Johnson/Evinrude/OMC Some Chrysler inboards, Volvo/Chrysler inboards. And many more.
