Yesterday morning my plate self activated and and topped out and wouldn't stop. I removed the power to it. I am assuming it's a solenoid. Anyone had this issue?

Phoenix921,
Sorry to hear about this issue! There are a couple of things you can check very quickly to see if the relay has gone out and caused this issue:
1) There is a 40 Amp fuse that is about 10" off the + wire leading the harness.
2) Make sure the wires to the jack plate switch are intact
3) Check the actuator by taking the blue and green wires directly to 12V by placing one wire on the + battery post and one wire on the - post. This will move the actuator up or down; simply swap the wires to move the actuator in the other direction.
If these tips are not helpful please contact Drew Mccammon either via phone: (256)772-0164 or email dmccammon@thmarine.com
He will be able to help you further diagnose your issue. Thank you for using Atlas!

Friend has one and the same thing happened only in the down mode. Couldn't get it turned off and almost burned up the boat until he finally found the right wire.
Have yet to hear from anyone at t-h.
