1994 Evinrude 150 Tilt Motor Relay Issue

[incubusfan3737]

I'm having an issue with the wiring between my relays and motor. My tilt stopped working so I replaced my tilt motor, replaced the relays and cleaned the connections on the bottom of the relay housing. The relays make a clicking noise when I hit the switch but the red wire coming into the relay is heating and smoking. I've checked for any corrosion further down but don't see any. The only thing I had an issue during installation with I'd the new wires on the tilt motor are blue/green and the two wires from motor are blue/white. I hooked blue to blue and white to green. Anyone have any suggestions why the motor isn't working still and why the red wire going to relay is overheating? Thanks!

You have it crossed wired some how. Here is the wiring diagram which I hope will clarify the issue

Thanks, when the rain stops I'm going to check and see where there might be a cross up.

take the old motor you removed and touch the green to battery positive and blue to battery negative just for a second and see if the old pump runs. If it does the hydraulic pump may be jammed and the motor may not have been the problem. Also the trim has a inline fuse that should blow before the magic smoke starts so it might be a good idea to check what size the fuse is.
