    1998 150 OptiMax Trim

    As said I have a 1998 150 OptiMax. My trim down has started to not want to work some time's. I am going to replace the trim relay's under the cowl. When I took the cowling off to get proper #. i found 3 relay's. I thought there would only be 2. Is this normal for a motor to have 3. Thanks for any and all help.

    The REAR (furthest back) relay should be your MPR (Main Power Relay).

    You do, indeed, have THREE (3) identical relays... TWO are for the trim system, the other is the MPR.
