**Current flowing through your helm switch should be no more than an amp or two, just enough to activate the coil in the relay. So this would mean I only need a 5a breaker on this switch and the fuse for the large draw relay would be elsewhere (say in the motor wiring harness)? *Thanks again for the help. Five amps would be more than enough to activate the trim relay. You're correct, the trim motor circuit is fused seperately somewhere in the harness. I don't know exactly how your motor harness is wired, but you can bet they didn't run the trim motor current through the switch at the helm. It would take a large switch and some heavy wires to handle that. It's just a low current control circuit that switches a relay back at the motor. The big current is on some short, heavier wires back at the motor. Good luck!. |
