Default Dual Trim Switches?

If the switches are in parallel and one of them develops an internal short

be closed simultaneously.


Bob,

I note that you say "If the switches..." and "if they are...", so you
are not really saying that they are. I always thought one switch
engages the trim motor and the other engages a clutch to actually have
the motor move the trim cable. Either swith alone will not do
anything.
