Gnasher Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 My penta leg (no comments plz mike, jack) goes up but the hydrollics wont let it come back dowm. Ive been told its a relay thats knackered but where would it be located and how do I test to see if that is the problem. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob F Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Good question, Dan. Don't know this one. At the back of my outboard manual there is a circuit diagram showing all the electrics. Do you have the same in your manual. If the relay is show it might help to pinpoint the location by tracing back the wires from known points.

Manic Moore Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Dan What do you call the one? Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afishionado Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 In general relays use quite light wiring on the actuating side of their circuit and heavier wiring on the side powering the item controlled. So relays tend to be fitted near to the item they control to save long runs of heavy wire. I would guess the relays/relay is/are near the electric motor powering the hydraulic pump.
