Trim tab retractor wire

[spinner]

I just installed Electric Lenco trim tabs on my 17 ft Seachaser. I had a new 115 HP Yamaha 4 stoke installed in May and had a new 703 remote control box installed also. I understand that there are a couple of ways to wire up the retractor side of the trim tabs. One way is to install a remote on/off switch and the other is to wire it to the 703 remote control box. I looked through the control box manual and there is no wiring diagram to address the retractor wire. Would appreciate some guidance to complete the project. Thank you.

   If Lencos are like my Bennett Bolts, the 'retractor wire' needs to see 12V when the ignition is 'on', and will automatically retract the tabs when the voltage goes away.  Any wire which goes on and off with the ignition would work just fine.  Probably easiest to find on the back of the key switch.  In any case, it should be fused as close as possible to the source  -  1 amp should be plenty.
   One more reason to have a Factory Service Manual - specific to your individual motor - which will include complete wiring schematics (including wire colors), as well as complete service information.   These are expensive ($100-200) but worth the money.  The 'aftermarket' manuals that cover multiple sizes and years of motors are NOT a substitute for the real thing.
