OMC electric tilt motor wiring

[Redrig]

Hello all,

I am in the process of re-wiring by boat, the PO's had it a rats nest behind the dash. I have completed new gauges, switches, ect.

quick question on our tilt motors, previously it was just wired directly from the always hot part of the key switch and not fused. I installed a new fuse panel to clean everything up, should I fuse this tilt motor? or just leave it as it was. It just seems like that size of a motor should be fused.

Thanks

I believe it's fused at the motor through one of the 50amp fuses near the starter motor.

Ahh, that makes sense. I have noticed soem larger fuses in the engine compartment area, I will justleave it as is then.

Thanks for the reply.
