Evenrude Trim Wires

[tytoolbelt]

I bought a used boat with a great rebuilt motor, however the guy never hooked up the tilt/trim wires like he was suppose to. I have an Evenrude E140TRL 2 Stroke and has a group of two wires coming out of the motor (blue, and green). Coming out of my controls are three wires, (black, green and blue). Everything works properly when they are in the correct sequence. I just don't know what I need to buy so I don't have to keep switching the wire sequence to match UP or DOWN.

Blue (Engine) + Black (Controls)
Green (Engine) + Green (Controls) = DOWN

Green (Engine) + Black (Controls)
Blue (Engine) + Blue (Controls) = UP

I saw another post that was similar but the link to the two wire diagram didn't work..does anyone have that.
HELP!

Re: Evenrude Trim Wires

Black is the common.

Blue is UP.

Green is DOWN.

Re: Evenrude Trim Wires

Sorry if my ignorance shows here but what am I suppost to do with the wires. Is there a switch or relay that I put them in? Man I feel stupid asking that because I've been lookin on this sight for two hours and everyones words seem like jiberish.

Re: Evenrude Trim Wires

yes they wire to relay research the diagrams on here they have lots of info
on trim diagrams.

Re: Evenrude Trim Wires

Do you have the fused junction box that goes with the tilt and trim?

Re: Evenrude Trim Wires

TY if you send me a PM with your email address I will send you wiring instructions and a diagram.

Re: Evenrude Trim Wires

yes high trim i saw your trim diagrams on a post and used when i wired mine
worked great

Re: Evenrude Trim Wires

The diagram that he has is probably not the correct one. This unit has two wire motor with the three wire control switch. It has relays instead of a solenoid. It is hard to wire without the junction box.

Take a look at the 1981 140TRL** M suffix model power tilt and trim.

Re: Evenrude Trim Wires

Or you can get this

This is a motor reversing solenoid that can do the same job as the relays. Hooking this up with a 3 pole momentary on/off/on switch should set you up.

I believe the website is surpluscenter.com that is where I ordered mine, but I am using it for a different operation, although I have heard they will work for power tilt and trim also no doubt. I have my 2 wire (green and blue) hooked up by DPDT switches, which does require more wiring but does work and it does do away with relays and solenoid.

OK now I'm having problems downsizing the pictures .

Re: Evenrude Trim Wires

HT my email address is tytoolbelt@yahoo.com. A wire diagram would be great. So let me try to get this straight. My wires go into something called a fused junction box which asks as a on/off/on switch? No I do not have this part and will go get one if need be. The only thing I have are the Two wires and Three wires to hardwire when needed.

Re: Evenrude Trim Wires

There are three ways you can wire this up.

This way

This is the wire diagram that I am using. It shows a DPDT style Momentary on off on switch. If you were going to wire it up like this I believe 10 awg wire with a 30 amp in line fuse is what you would need. Notice the white lines crossing in an X pattern those lines are showing to wire the switch that way only.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This way

This is the way you wire up the motor reversing soleniod, where the M is that would be your green and blue wires out to the trim motor.
The motor reversing solenoid cost around $39.99 plus shipping over the website I mentioned before. You wire this up with an SPDT style switch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

or this way

You can wire it with the relays, which I'm still trying to find my diagram, but to me it seems way more complicated.

Boogie man, very interesting drawings. Necessity is the mother of invention.

Ty, I emailed you the diagrams. They are in pdf format and are too large to post on this forum or I would. Boogie if you cant find yours I could email them to you.

Ezeke, gimme a little more credit would ya

Re: Evenrude Trim Wires

Hey hightrim

I am PMing you.

Please send me one I can't find my other, and haven't been able to use my search function on here to find the diagram.

I only modified one thing on that diagram, the majority of it is the diagram they have listed on their website. Although I completely redone the diagram in the past for my own needs on this other application that I am working on.

Re: Evenrude Trim Wires

Thanks. This is really helpfull. I'm not a wire guy at all and this is pretty easy to figure out. I'll let you know how it comes out.

Re: Evenrude Trim Wires

If you really want to simplify the wiring, use a Trombetta reversing solenoid. The wiring pdf is located here: http://www.trombetta.com/cm/pdfs/Installing-RP-Contactor.pdf

"http://surpluscenter.com/item.asp?UID=2008011407155970&item=11-3149&catname="

The Cole Hersee 24450 from reddenmarine .com is good also.
