I have a 1995 sea ray 195 sport that I recently purchased this year. When I purchased it, the previous owner had wired a button below the throttle control that puts the trim on the up position. The trim down is the only trim feature that works on the throttle control (trim up and trailer position do not function). I traced the wiring and it looks like they wired that new button directly to the trim ‘up’ solenoid on the trim motor (blue/white wire).
The previous owner also told me they installed new trim sender/limit switches, but had just not connected them yet.
With a little fiddling around, I was able to wire the trim enough to hear clicking when I toggle trim ‘up’ on the throttle control, but nothing happens. I ended up wiring the trim limit wires to the trim motor (blue/white) and the purple/white wire in the engine compartment.
I wired the trim sender to the brown/white wire and a black ground inside the engine compartment, but I was not able to see any adjustment on the trim gauge in the dash when I tried adjusting the puck itself.
Also, it seems as though the gauge keeps showing that the trim is in the full ‘up’ position. Could this be causing the trim ‘up’ button on the throttle to not work since the boat thinks the trim is all the way up already ?
The wiring has clearly been tinkered with but I think I am close to solving this issue. I already replace the solenoid on the trim ‘up’ at the trim motor and had the same results. It seems as though the trim motor is working fine since that button that the previous owner installed goes directly to the trim motor and operates fine.
Any idea what to tackle next ?
Thanks in advance!
