Good to know... I ordered the correct one. Installed it and everything is back to normal! Unbelievably easy to do.

It turns out to be a bad green solenoid after the tests. I am looking online and I see two bennett solenoids. One is 24V and one is 12V. There is no indication which one I have. Do you happen to know what voltage I should get? Its the original 96' solenoid.

Thank you, I will be doing this tomorrow and I suspect it is just a bad solenoid. I will confirm tomorrow.

Thank you for all the help. I greatly appreciate it!

Yes from what I can tell after much research I'm thinking it is the green solenoid. I will be checking it tomorrow.

Thank you for the help in advance. I have only one trim tab working. When I hit the lever for the non-working trim tab, I hear the trim motor working which means this is not an electrical issue ( I don't think). It sounds the exact same as when I hit the lever for the working trim tab but does...

Interesting. That is the one thing I have not tried yet. I bet that could be it! Ill check in the morning. Thanks

Thank you in advance for any help. I took my boat out yesterday and realized there was a random cord hanging down under my steering helm. It was connected to the circuit breaker AUX POWER setting... From what I can tell, everything on my boat is working. All the power switches, lights, ect...

Good to know. First boat with not a lot of experience in these types of things so I appreciate the input. Crazily enough, the original owner didn't even have a chain on it. He was just relying off the old winch and strap. I just put this chain and carabiner on when I got it. What type of hook...

Will Do!

UPDATE: I took off the winch, after 24 years there was quite a bit of rust and deterioration. Instead of cleaning it up with rust remover I just bought a brand new winch. I raised my pacific trailer two inches, and reversed the strap. I feel this is in a much better, straight position now. The...

That makes sense and something I was worrying about. Last thing I want to do is have a loose wrap and then driving to the launch ramp the boat starts slipping because of the slack. I will try to keep it as tightly wrapped as I possibly can. May even drive it around the block a couple of times...

Great. Thank you so much for the help. Time to get a new strap and wrap this thing correctly.

Just to clarify, please see attached photo. If I just wrap the strap opposite direction it would be a much more straight line to the eye loop. Would this be the best option?

Yes it is a pacific trailer
