All,

I have Bennett Trim tabs on my 1994 Carver 350 Aft Cabin. I've had my electrician aboard and we've determined that the pump is running fine, in both directions, but one of the solenoids is not functioning correctly. When testing the solenoids they're both running fine but the red wire that provides power to that solenoid isn't supplying power. If we change the wire from the red wire to supply the green wired solenoid and vice versa then the problem is reversed. When functioning correctly the draw is only 12 amps. The loading up to 31 amps is to the solenoid that isn't receiving power to it. Both of the upper and lower helm stations trim tabs have been testing and they're not the issue.
there's also a difference between the problems on the starboard side upper and lower helm. The consensus is that the problem is likely where the wiring from the trim tabs to where the y connection splits to head to the lower and upper helm is where there is likely a connection issue. That Y isn't near the pump or either of the helm stations so I'm going to have to start looking for where it's located in some wire loom. In addition the ground from the pump unit was in bad shape but I've had the bad portion cut out and that should no longer be an issue. Wish me look as I try to find this Y connection.

Anyone know where that would be on my 1994 Carver 350 Aft Cabin?

Thanks

Eric
