    Default Power trim wiring


    What are my steps here? I can maybe cut and splice to get the motor back in the up position, but I have no idea what I need to be prepared to do once I can access the power trim motor. Who knows what I'm about to get into?

    You could cut and strip the wires going to motor. Rig a jumper wire from battery to one wire and get motor in position to work on lift motor. On those 2 wires one is up and one is down so touching with a hot should tell you which is which. Once you have motor tilted up you can see how much room you have to work with. I would try to strip that sheath back, strip both wires back, slide on some heat shrink, solder wires together, heat shrink over connections then coat with liquid tape and wrap with electrical tape. Then figure out how to prevent it from happening again.

    Up is blue and down is green. I do splices similar to the way Cray does except I put the liquid tape on the soldered splice then the heat shrink before it sets up. The Navy yard uses heat shrink that has a sealant inside so you don't have to use the liquid tape. I imagine its a lot cheaper to use the liquid tape.

    Just go to Autozone and get the blue heat shrink butt splices for the repair. With a proper crimp and melting it will be water tight from the plastic casing, electrically bonded as well as if there was no splice without being a flex point like the heat shrink would be. Those are the only butt splices I will use on my boats and jetski's because water intrusion and corrosion will find its way into a bad fix at the worse possible time.
