The pump it the standard mercury pump. It has the plug on the side with a light green wire which is a red or hot wire, and the other two are the green/white and blue /white. The up down switch on the shifter only has the up working. There are four wires stubs that come out of the boat harness. Tan, Dark Brown, and the trim blue and green. One has no signal, I believe the blue/white. So,What I did was eliminate all of the individual swithes. As an example, I isolated the turn signal trim switch, it does the same thing, trim up/ motor up, trim down/ motor up. So I wired directly to the trim switch on the motor. Trim up/ motor up, trim down motor up. So I decided to switch the two wires coming out of the trim motor on the solenoid. Green is on bottom solenoid. Blue is on top. I switched the wires and now everything is in reverse. Trim up/ motor goes down, trim down/ motor goes down. This is how I moved the boat on Sunday to fire the motor off for the first time. Runs and idles great. Now I just have to figure out this crazy trim pump. Bob, you are right, I had the bow, turn signal, shifter, and the cowling on my 225. I would eventually like to maintain this. If I lose the trim switch on the shifter it would not be a big deal. The others are nice for convience. Thanks for your responses. Is there a hotline to Mercury??? I just hate the idea of taking the boat to a local dealer and having them tear the boat apart. I'm not worried about a bill or the time. I just don't want someone that does not know what there doing making a bigger mess.
