See full version: How to Troubleshoot the Trim Switch on a Bass Tracker Boat
Remove the screws in the throttle handle and remove the cover to access the trim switch. Note the position of wires before removing them from switch terminals. The middle wire is red and furnishes 12 volts to the switch at all times. The blue wire applies 12 volts to raise the engine. The green wire applies 12 volts to lower the engine. When the switch is pressed, the respective contact inside touches the red contact to receive 12 volts to function.
Set the multimeter to the continuity check position. Troubleshoot the up position of the switch by touching the red lead to the terminal to which the red wire was connected. Touch the black lead to the terminal to which the blue wire was connected. Press the button labeled up and listen for the tone from the multimeter. If you hear a tone, the up position of the trim switch is good. If you don not hear a tone, it is bad.
Remove the wires from the switch terminals with needle-nose pliers. This will isolate the switch from the circuit. Examine the switch terminals for corrosion, which could affect your readings. Remove any corrosion found using sandpaper.
The power trim switch on a boat raises and lowers the engine. It positions the boats engine for optimum performance while underway. The power trim switch also raises the engine when transporting the boat so the prop clears the ground. The power trim switch usually is located on the throttle but may be located on the engine and/or the bow of the boat. Each of these switches is wired the same. These instructions refer to the switch at the throttle, but can be used on any switch.
After I completely unhooked the switch, I tried putting the terminals back on the battery. When I do this, the motor starts to run and the motor tries to go down. So it is still on , after unhooking what I thought was a bad switch. here
You assumed right Mike. Everything I own is old, including me.
Where in the hades, can I get these little bitty fuses?
I think that may tell me if it is the motor or a short.
