You guys were right. I installed a new power trim switch in the spring. Well the positive wire got caught under the control arm, shaffing it and grounding it, frying the wiring harness. Also, the engine wire harness fuse was cut out for some reason. I was told that was actually illegal. Dont know how true it is, but it should be illegal.
Picked up a used, but in great condition wire harness and control box. The total cost was the cost of a six pack of beer. : ) Got from a boat thats been sitting in the boat yard and the guy never paid his bill and the boat became ownership of the yard. The owners son hooked me up big time. Whew, glad to. Was worried about the cost factor. The new harness does have the inline fuse as well.
