Hello all
I have a boat with lenco trim flaps on it, but it is only the electronic cylinders which are working. I have tried hooking them up to the 12v battery I have on board and they work very well.
The control box or the buttons that originally was used doesnt work anymore.
Ive thought of the following for a simple and cheap solution:
I take two sets of spdt relays and hook them up like this:

To activate the relays I use some low amp momentary push-buttons and also take the power for those from the battery.
Are there any concern in doing so? Any improvements you could suggest?
I have thought of how I could make some indicators, like and RED LED that turns on when those flaps reach there full extend, but have no clue atm. how this can be done.
