so. I have purchased a pair of Lenco trim actuators(not the kit) to install on my boat in a capacity that is NOT a trim tab...per se

I don't have any wiring other than the two wires that comes off the actuators. I want to wire BOTH actuators to work simultainously with ONE switch.

I need to have up and down capacity.....would a momentary on-off-on switch work.....so that when the switch is thrown up and help the actuator gets power....and when released power stops...same goes for the other way, thrown down the actuator goes in reverse until I let off the switch....

... I do not want a switch that say bow up or bow down...... and I certainly don't want dual switches...

I have wired up a TNT relay box from an old 70 hp to replace the relay on my TH_Marine hydraulic jack.... so I know there is a reverse direction of current applied to the device based on the relays ... but that is to run a hydraulic motor pump....

is this all electric trim unit working the same way???

I am attaching the lenco trim actuators tp my dynamic Flotation pods that are hinged onto the back of the boat.... when going slow or sitting still I want to deploy the pods down into the water... to lift the stern.... these are BIG PODS 21 x24. Then when I want to get up to speed and plane out...Ill just raise them out of the way so they don't drag.... and I can lift the bow with the motors trim feature if need be......

but I need some electrical wiring advice here..... any help would be appreciated

thanks
