Hey guys, got a question that someone here may have already run into. Boat is a 2015 250 SLX with the hydraulic swim platform option. The sequence of operation is to turn on the Accy switch at the helm, with the ignition switch off, and then operate the platform DOWN rocker switch that's at the stern of the boat. It runs the sterndrive pump at the same time to insure the drive is trimmed all the way down before the platform starts to deploy. According to the wiring diagrams, there is a 4 second ON delay relay that will then close and allow the trim pump to run to deploy the swim platform.

Problem is...after 4 seconds nothing happens anymore. The drive pump runs, but the platform pump will not run. I've jumped the platform pump out and it works fine, the UP function does work with the factory rocker switch...just not the down.

Does anyone know where this 4 second delay relay is located? I just bought the boat a couple weeks ago...so while I have spent some time climbing around the engine room during the initial inspection and after I bought it, I haven't been able to locate this relay.
 
Update...found out why I couldn't find the delay relay in the engine compartment. Sea Ray decided it was better suited up behind the helm LoL

Turns out the adjustable delay timer was the problem, got it fixed and everything is working properly now. So hopefully this will help someone out in the future.
