| So I recently purchased my first rig (used not new). Everything (motor, electronics, power trim ect) seemed to be working order on a test run on open water and while playing with things in the garage over past week here. In setting up things on how I want it, I installed a battery shut-off switch (red little box with on/off turn switch). Everything runs through this switch (motor, electronic, all boat wiring) and then the battery shut off switch runs to the (+) terminal of the battery…. pretty basic and everything seemed to work after shut-off switch installation.
However, I have now notice that my power trim does not work? It seems to have power to it and when I try to trim it up/down I can hear the hydraulics working but no movement?? Like its locked up or something? Just seems weird when it worked properly before and now it doesn’t. I did not cut or splice any wires, made sure battery was disconnect before installation, checked fuses (seemed good from the ones I see). I just simply disconnected the (+) terminals from the cranking battery and routed them through the battery shut off switch instead and now no power trim? Confused on what could be the culprit.
Motor is a 99' 40hp Johnson with electric start and power trim.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks
