Installation Notes

  1. Disconnect the boat's battery to prevent electrical shorts.

  4. Remove any mounting hardware and detach the old relay.
  5. Mount the new relay in the same position as the original.
  6. Connect the electrical terminals to the new relay, ensuring they match the original configuration.
  7. Reconnect the battery.
  8. Test the power trim and tilt functions to confirm proper operation.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if my trim relay is failing?

Common signs of a faulty relay include the trim/tilt system working in only one direction (up or down), a clicking sound from the relay with no motor action, or the system not working at all. Always check fuses and battery voltage first.

Will this fit my specific engine model year?

This relay is designed for a broad range of Mercury and Johnson/Evinrude engines. Please use the part number matrix and compatibility tables to cross-reference your existing part number. Verifying the part number is the most reliable way to ensure a match.

What is a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) relay?

An SPDT relay is an electromagnetic switch that uses a single input to control two separate outputs. In a trim/tilt system, it allows the motor to be driven in two directions (up and down) by reversing the polarity of the electrical current.

Is any special tool required for installation?

No special tools are required beyond basic hand tools like a socket wrench or screwdriver to access and remove the old relay, and possibly pliers for disconnecting tight electrical terminals.

Can this relay be used for other applications?

While designed for marine trim/tilt systems, this 12V 40A SPDT relay is a standard component that could theoretically be used in other automotive or marine applications requiring a high-current polarity-reversing switch, but we only guarantee fitment for the models listed.
