Hi.
I have boat where I have a clutch that I want to operate with a switch on the dash.
Here is what I want it to do; (with 2 different actuators doing different things)
I want the actuator to extend when I flip the switch, I am thinking of using a timed relay so that I can just time the actuator and set it up so that it extends then stops. Then when I flip the switch back down I want the actuator to retract, with the same timer setup.
I am scratching my head with how to get it done.
OH, and to throw in a curveball, I want it setup so that when one actuator is extended the other cannot be retracted.
I have two engines connected to the same propshaft, so when the clutch is retracted(engaged) the second actuator cannot extend, when the second actuator is extended, the first(clutch) cannot be extended(disengaged). This is to prevent one of the engines from turning the other.
I'm sorry if this got complicated, I'm a terrible explainer
