I ended up making my own setup using four sealed Delphi relays. It works great, and keeps everything isolated.

Yes, cheap radio shack diodes are fine.
They are "one way valves" for electricity.
You are switching the solenoid coils which are probably 1/2 watt coils. As long as the diodes are 1/2 watt or bigger you're gold.

I bought the Diodes from Radio Shack..do they need to go one way or it dosnt matter?

Yes it matters, think of a diode as a one way valve for electricity. The gray line goes towards the side you don't want the electricity to bleed back from.
Let me know how they work. I have been to lazy to hook mine up so your the guinea pig. Lol

Yes, those will work. There's only enough current to actuate the pump relays, so just about any size relay will do the job. I don't have any experience with the diodes, but they should work fine too. Just be sure you get ones that are rated for 12V. 5v stuff won't last long.

This is the one I got, easy install, cheap and looks good, if you take the round "plate" out of your throttle control this fits in perfectly, I ran the wires in plastic loom down the shaft of the throttle...........:coolcowboy:

The plates come out though?
Seems very tight and front part with red ring is rubber?
I have zero effort. Trim switch coming anyday.

I would like this new button to bring drives all the way down and all the way up...bypassing trailer buttons as I have done with all boats. Screws are also too short too.
