Basics of Bennett V351 unit


Wiring.

Harness colors and functions:

Red   

Port Valve

Green   

Starboard Valve

Blue  

Pump Pressure

Yellow  

Pump Retract

Black         

Ground

Control is marked on bottom for color coding.

Markings on top of control refer to hull action. When the toggle is moved to port down, for example, the starboard trim plane lowers which in turn lowers the port side of the bow. Thus, when under way, the operator merely moves the control toggle in the direction of the high quarter of the boat and that quarter lowers.  

Tubing connections. 

Facing pump, the left side goes to port (left) actuator, right to starboard. Note that solenoid valve wire on left is red and right valve wire is green matching the navigation light colors -­ easy to remember.

 

Testing function of control.  

(Refer to color coding above and it will clarify the following).  Remove wires from control. Touching the positive lead to the colors as shown at left should provide results as shown at right.

Positive with blue .& red 

Port plane down  

Positive with blue & green 

Starboard plane down  

Positive with blue, red & green 

Both down simultaneously  

Positive with yellow & red  

Port plane up  

Positive with yellow & green 

Starboard plane up  

Positive with yellow, red & green  

Both up simultaneously  

 

If the opposite plane moves to that described above, the tubing is reversed at the pump.

The control toggle operates through an arc of about 45° in the "both-up" and "both­down" positions (about 20°-25° either side of straight forward or straight aft). To get one plane only, the toggle should be moved to the 45° marks on the control.

If trim planes go down but will not come up, it is normally caused by low voltage. To ascertain low voltage, check voltage while pump is running with a voltmeter at the pump end of the wires. If the voltage is less than 9v, the valves will not open.

Additional relay assembly

Purpose for additional relay assembly for 24-volts units: To reduce current flow through the control and consequently lengthen control life.

       

Directions:  

1. Secure right hand screws of hydraulic power unit mounting bracket.  
  2. Plug into harness in the only way possible.  
  3. Attach black ground wire to rear stud on motor.  
  4. Connect orange colored hot lead to nearest positive connection.
