    Default pro 50 trim

    When using the Yamaha pro 50 swivel bracket and trim on a Johnson 56 cube, can I use the relays that came with the Johnson or do I have to use the solenoid the Yamaha came with? I've got it hooked to the relays but I find the trim slow and my connections are getting hot, I thought I hooked it right but I didn't hook up the limit switch.

    the omc is two wire, the yamaha is three wire, you need the yamaha set up. no relays, solenoids

    Thanks Fast, glad I kept the solenoids, have you found a good place to mount them?

    Seems odd that no one uses the set up off Johnson short shaft 40,50hp motors there are plenty of them around and you can still order the parts new here in the good ol USA.

    Have you tried it? Does it have the same measurement as the stock Stinger bracket? I used a Pro 50 from an 87 model, couldn't find a 15" so I bought a 20" and it wasn't quite the perfect fit, if I remember correctly, it was about 1/2" longer so I had to do a bit of massaging.
