single trim right hand trim switch
 
Looking for single trim right hand switch with diode, no diode or instructions on how to make a diade.
like these, http://www.rexmar.com/page40.htmlthey dont make anymore...or a link to who makes the similar one. Any help appreciated. I have the zero Effort twin control.
The seachosie ones, the rond butoon one, I would rather not install -had it on another boat and didnt feel right. Any ideas?

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:

Open this link. You can see how to wire the diode in the pic that Smokin' Gun has attached.

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.
