"I am still trying to add trim
"I am still trying to add trim and tilt to my 85' 90 hp evinrude that never had it.
My controls have the button. I picked up a unit with a 3 wire motor off ebay. I also picked up what was advertized as a solenoid box from a different seller, but I think it's a relay box. There are six screws doewn the middle, one "side " looks like it handles green, the other, blue.
If I futz around with odd connects, I can get it to retract and go up; the problem is if I connect both of the heavy gausge wires at the same time from the motor (the green and blue), when I use the switch, the wires heat up and the motor cleary sounds wrong.
Do I need a two wire motor? Can I swap a 2 and 3 wire unit with this trim unit?"
