How to Install a Remote Trim Switch on your boat! 

Thanks for this one. Am gonna use it. Keep em coming. Good stuff.

Great idea! One important thing to add is an inline fuse in the red wire. I used a 20A one in my case. It serves two purposes: does not let your switch to burn as well as protects other parts as well (say if your pump is not protected by a fuse).

Thank you, this is on my list for this year…mainly to trim the motor down to drain it after putting on the trailer and pulling out of the water

good information thanks. I started using heat shrink that is used in water wells on my boat as it has a sealing adhesive in the heat shrink.

12:02 My mouth is watering at this diagram!

Thank you so much. Amazing idea

How do you wire it up the other way so that the limiter works

Are you not doing this channel anymore? Why is it that every time I ask a question In the comments section, no one ever responds.😅

Awesome

Please forgive me for my misunderstanding but I thought that you bypassed the solenoids and went directly to the motors. Did I miss something? Great video by the way.

Another question. The wires coming from my throttle trim switch and transom switch are barely 16 to 18 gauge wire. I know you were using 12 to 10 gauge. Does the original smaller gauge wire on my boat because they are going through trim pump relays?

Is the diagram backwards? It shows green wire UP, blue wire DOWN. Thanks!

I have a transom trim switch on my Cobalt 246, but I have to have the battery switch on to use it or the throttle trim switch. I would like to have a transom trim switch that has power all the time so if forget to trim the motor down and I already put the cover on I don't have to crawl under the cover to turn the battery switch on. Any suggestions?

I set one up for my Force 120 with 10 ga wires and it burned the switch immediately. How many amps is your switch rated for? Can I run the switch on the negative (control) side of the solenoids instead?

So maybe the trim motor is grounded through the engine ground. Only thing that makes sense. I mean I get that I need to hook the red wire to a power source. I just am far too curious to let this sleep until I know exactly where it is grounded.

Hi, video is very dark lit/not lit. Great idea though.

Hey Jared, is it alright if I give you a shout out and put some clips from this video in my upcoming video? ;) I should have it done by tomorrow... or tonight... we'll see :P

I have a dumb question: How is the tilt switching system grounded?

Damn it he has a cat I'm out...😵

Waste of time
