LittleChief Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Does anyone know where I can buy these switches? It is a trim tab switch on my Master Angler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLDXT Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Lol...I just look today, genuinedealz is out of stock. Make sure you get the right ones. How did you know your switch was bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleChief Posted May 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 I put the wires from the trim tab directly on my starting battery bypassing any switch or connection. The tab worked perfectly. I reconnected the wires to the ones coming from the switch and the tab would only go down, not up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang190 Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 This place should have them. Call their customer service, very helpful and they carry a quality switch, better than the ones your using now. i replaced all the switches on my boat with them. https://www.go2marine.com/index.jsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was $8 on genuinedealz. Should be able to find it cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carling makes sealed switches, look at the data sheet should be this number. 6FC53-73/TABS http://www.carlingtech.com/toggle-switches-f-series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLDXT Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 I think this would work, you need the reverse polarity. http://www.genuinedealz.com/metal-bat-toggle-switch-dpdt-momentary-on-off-on-with-tabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smilemaker Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Going straight to the battery tells you the actuators are working. Your problem is from the fuse panel thru the switch. Use a meter to check for power at the panel and make sure the fuse is good and making connection. Next use the meter to check the pos and negative going into the switch.This will tell you if you have a bad wire or ground. This switch has a totally different diagram than most switches. Most switches use the center pole for the positive coming in from the panel. Here the pos is on the top of one side and the bottom of the other side with the ground being the others. The actuators go to the middle. It is very common for this switch to be hooked up wrong if a wire or two comes off. You can also use the meter to check the continuity of the switch. It is a good idea to check all possibilities before buying a new switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleChief Posted May 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 I have power to the switch because the tab goes down, but not up. So I think I can rule out a fuse or power issue to the switch. I checked all connections to the switch and they were intact. I believe it has to be the switch unless I am missing something.

smilemaker Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Double check the connections on the back that they are wired right and tight but sounds like you are on the right track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
