Trim solenoids go 'click'

[wahlejim]

As you'll typically only be using the switch for a few seconds, 15A is fine. The 20A fuse is for power to the dash trim control buttons, and any others that use the solenoids, like my (and Bondo's) transom mounted switches.

If you're looking for exactly what I used.... -> https://www.aliexpress.com/item/EE-s...3e154c4ddCXXDi

I use these because they come with the water-proof boot for the lever. Just be aware that they are a lot of 3 switches. I wanted 4 (as I have other boats I'll be doing this to), so ordered 4... I received 12 switches... Friends come over, I offer them a switch as a parting gift....

Sounds like I should book a trip down under to get myself a free switch!

On my Crownline, I keep stuff in a square bucket in the storage space in front of where that pump assembly is. I am wondering if that could get pushed up against the toggle and activate it - is this an issue for you?

No, my trim pump assy is bolted to the transom (to get it off the floor and out of any water). Here's a photo further forward in the boat (looking back).... And you'll realise why just trying to use jumpers on the solenoids is a bit of a non-starter!
