Boat lift & switch wiring
I am replacing the motor in an older ACE boat lift unit. The original motor and
pre-wired Up/Down switch were working fine but the ½ hp open frame motor
continues to be compromised by “dirt dobbers� and other insects. The new
motor is ½ hp Dayton (6XJ41 I believe), Capacitor Start, TEFC, 120/240V,
1725/1425 rpm. The original motor apparently had some pre-wiring done inside
the connection box so I’m having some problems determining the proper
connections for wiring the original switch to the new motor, specifically
switching rotation. Both old and new are wired for 120 V. The wiring for the
switch and the motor are below. Any help is appreciated.
Switch: 4 wire + ground
Down:
L2 = White, Orange L1 = Black, Red
Up:
L2 = White, Black L1 = Orange, Red
Motor: 7 wire
CCW:
L1 = Black, Blue, Orange L2 = White, Yellow Insul. = Purple, Red
CW:
L1 = Red, Blue, Orange L2 = White, Yellow Insul. = Purple, Black
