OK . . what the he!! is this thing?
 

what the he!! is this thing. its mounted under my helm :confused: got a bunch-o-wires in it. its an all black box so I'm sure its something suspicious. this is only a guess but maybe it was placed there by the government or worse mercruiser :eek: I'm thinking that the little black box inside with the merc symbol on it is some kind of osmotic mind control device used to alter thought patterns and influence buying habits. the two silver boxes must be some kinda GPS transceiver so they always know where i am at and can take pics of me from space :et:


but seriously . . .what the he!! is this thing? all my trim switch wires go through it and i have had inconsistent drive trim issues in the past. can i wire past it . . . what ever it is? :D

Juction box?

Re: OK . . what the he!! is this thing?
 

relay box for your drive trims, im guessing your boat is mid to late eights with twins, if so then thats how they over came cross wiring, cris craft was know for using them in the stingers ect.....

Re: OK . . what the he!! is this thing?
 

yep . . . its an 85 Chris Craft 260 Stinger. i got rid of my trailer switch and kept just the 2 drive switches. do i still need this? i still dont understand what it actually does. seems like the system would be a whole lot simpler without it. all i need is the two switches wired to the relays on the pumps. thanks all

Re: OK . . what the he!! is this thing?
 

DAMN! I'm impressed!

Re: OK . . what the he!! is this thing?
 

no you dont, the idea was so you could trl both together and still trim indiv...of course you will still have to rewire itas two seperate systems

just remember.....

red...hot +
blk ......ground -
blue....up
grn.....down

Re: OK . . what the he!! is this thing?
 

thanks Joe. thats what i needed. :cool:

Re: OK . . what the he!! is this thing?
 

just remember the pos (red) from the pump feeds the switch then loops back either from the blue (up ) or grn (down) depending on which one you hit...
