Forc trim/tilt 2 wire 1988 50 hp

[indianafats]

Greetings. I have a 1988 Force 50 hp outboard. Since the motor got heavier over the years, I bought a used trim/tilt unit that has a two wire reverse rotation motor. The unit does work in both directions when I hook pos to green and neg to blue..it goes down. When I reverse that, it goes up..........but.... I can't get it wired now that it is installed. I need a diagram or something to show me where to properly the wires for up and down and the switch. I just bought a three position switch...I don't have a regular Force switch. Thanks so much. Be well. Jeffrey

Welcome to iboats, indiana.<br /><br />If your motor doesn't have the wiring harness with the relays wired in, you are going to have to do a little creative wiring, or buy the wiring harness.<br /><br />Best to pick up a Clymer Force repair manual, or borrow one from the library if available.<br />It has an excellent wiring diagram and write-up on pages 539-540.<br /><br />Make sure your power source that feeds the relays is fused or circuit breaker protected.<br /><br />You can get the relays at NAPA or Mercury.<br /><br />You can buy a wiring harness from Mercury, part # 84-819514A7 $40<br /><br />And 2 relays at $12 each. part # 87-819509T<br /><br /><br />Wiring harness and relay shown at the bottom of this picture.<br /><br />
