I'm currently waiting on a tech who knows how to handle a test multi meter to come and go over the trim tab system in the Magnum. It's been out of service since Sep 2003 and this is the last ghost I have to chase down before I move onto basic cleaning .
Everything looks fine. All connections are clean , corrosion free and tight. Ground is good .Even cleaned out the oil sump and put in fresh oil , but the thing is dead. (It did work fine at the time of the layup)
Now , I would assume that if the motor was frozen/siezed it would be tripping the circuit breaker , but it's not doing that. Plus , it's one of the ones that has the motor completely sealed in a plastic dip and the bilge has always been bone dry and well vented, so I'd think it unlikely that the motor has been affected by dampness in any way.
If it turns out not to be a simple electrical connector , and the tech says ..'Oh here it is .. you need a new ....' what do I do ?
I don't think Trim Master is in business anymore ..
I did spy a new Bennet pump assy at the shop the other day and I notice that it has a 4 point harness connection ... I think the T/M uses a 6 point connector.
This could get messy
