Hope someone can help me. I have two Mercruiser 3.0 engines in my Searay. They have been setting for quite a while and thought I would get them running again. Got one to run and out drive goes up and down when buttons pushed from dash. I installed an Solenoid on the other engine. Now the out drive is going down when I push up and up when I push down. I am sure I have the solenoid wired the same as the other engine so this has me stumped. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks

Ayuh,.... Ya got the wires backwards,....

Blue is Up, aka; the sky...

Green is down, aka; grass...
 
Thanks a lot you guys. You are right. The problem is the wires are faded and I could not really tell if they were green or blue. Swapped the wires and now it's working great. Appreciate the help. Bill
