So this past weekend my motor would no trim up. The motor made no sound at all trying to go up, but did work to go down. I fixed the issue as unplugging the power plug and reinserting it. While looking at possible problems I came across these 2 wires that are very brittle and the insulation broke off in my hand and so did the connections. One wire splices to 2 blue wires. One comes form the front of the boat and the other to the trim motor. The other wire splices to a purple wire that leads to the front of the boat. Now the brittle wires are what I call a lamp cord wire, 2 wires connected together, but insulated so they do not short together. Both these wires run and look like they go out the boot to the foot of the motor then back in and connect to the 50AMP fuse mounting bracket. Like they are a ground wire. Everything is working on the boat so what could these wires be?
