Leg going into beach mode of its own accord

[petem]

To disconnect the trim pump power the closest and easiest place to reach is the main fuse on top of the engine just behind the black fuse box

Paul, do you mean one of these fuses?

Won't that disable more than the Power Trim?

You learn't your elec-mech skills back in the 70's on CRT tv's right?

I’m reasonably certain this repair technique wouldn’t work on a D-Series PCU.

No the fuse has 2 thick red cables to it .

I think that Volvopaul means part 45 on this diagram, it is a big chunky white fuse just behind the black main fuse box on top of the engine.

I've also had some fundand games with the drive trims this year, I changed both fuses anyway as a precaution (as they were easy to access) and gave the relay connections a good clean and reconnected and all fine.

It is a very tight squeeze to get to those relays though on a T34 - I made it down alongside the starboard engine and at one point wondered if I'd ever get back out!! Glad I've done it though as one of those jobs that are worth knowing how to do.

Thanks Dan, very helpful.

Indeed, lucky I'm so slim .

Yes they bolt to the fuse , by disconnecting one you cut the main power to the trim pump

Thanks Paul, much appreciated.

The problem seems to have corrected itself for the time being but I'll replace the relays and I'll know what to do in the future if it happens again.
