Default wiring trim switches

i have the carlingswitches, 20amp 12 v, have 6 prongs, 3 on each side, how do i wire these? i would guess power into the middle one, then power out on the top and bottom to the pumps?however that way would only use 3 of the 6 prongs, what am i missing? grounds for each one? did alot of searching but couldnt find much, thanks

You can use a single pole{ 3 wire} or double pole {6 wire} switch. Generally the double gets used as a both drive switch. You can use either side. Each side needs its own power to the center.

Here is one for a normal trimtab switch setup:



Here is one for a triple engine trim setup with two separate "lift all" switches"..



Let me know if you need any more...
