No relays needed but there are diodes that need to be installed.
Had to go way back In the archives for this one. Circa 02

Hoping someone who has installed this can help me out.
I finally got around to installing the formula switch on my boat. I split off green and blue wires so that one each goes to the Starboard and Port drive trim switches and the red going to a single power. The throttle switch works great and I love it. The problem is, the original switches will not work independently of each other - they're now tied directly in to each other.
Am I going to need relays or is there an easier way to do it?

As I stated yrs ago, you need the diodes when you are controlling 2 items, whether it be drives or tabs, if you want to retain the ability to operate them independently using the dash switches.
