 GT trim aint got no juice- problems!
No power to the trim. I bypassed the relay and jumped out the trim motor and found that its working good. The wires are all good and nothing came loose but a voltmeter test appears to link the problem to the relay(s). When i first got the boat, I didnt realize that the battery box was full of water and the fuses and relays were soaking for a long time (dumb ass). So if the relay was soaking I'm assuming that this the problem. They appear to be sealed but I guess they aint made to take an extended bath. Anyone else had problems with the relays?
Can you get the relays at any auto parts store? Calling GT in the morning.

 Re: GT trim aint got no juice- problems!
GT will have them to you the next day but someone should chime in on those relays if I remember correctly you can purchase them at local stores.

 Re: GT trim aint got no juice- problems!
I did a more extensive search on the site and found this:
Autozone, Part Number MR125
I hope this is the problem. I'm trying to go bowfishing Thurs nite.

 Re: GT trim aint got no juice- problems!
Just rewired and relocated mine on my mudbuddy the relays and wiring harness need to stay dry those relays get corroded quickly if they are exposed to moisture.

Check your ground wire to your pump. #1 issue for these PT units.

 Re: GT trim aint got no juice- problems!
Yup its a common problem if you let the relays get wet. I suggets drilling a hole in the bottom of the Battery box and routh the wires so the relays are at the TOP of the battery box aswell. Then you are set. Or you can convert to the new handle controls...

 Re: GT trim aint got no juice- problems!
Fyi the auto zone part # is 19272 and they cost around $13.00 a piece. I did give them Gatorguys part # and the gave me the relays, but their part # is actually the one I listed above.
And yes, I drilled several drain holes in my battery box when I first found out that it was holding salt water. Recently the trim would sometimes work and some times not. I cleand all the connections in battery box and it worked. The trim worked all day last week. Checked it the other day and it stopped working.
I just tried new relays and it still won't work. The fuses are all good. My only guess is either the toggle switch or the fuse with the reset is bad. WTF???
Btw, I have a CC.

 Re: GT trim aint got no juice- problems!
Solved the drama. I just jumped the toggle switch out and whattayouknow, the MUTHERFUKER was bad. A freakin $2.00 part that works whenever it feels like it. Always something.

 Re: GT trim aint got no juice- problems!

((actually adding an extra trim switch to my grab bar)) (PD) it should be the same part number since im doin the same thing?? and both are briggs motors?
