Gary,

In case that link doesn't work, on the TCW web site if you click on the documentation tab, look in the Safety Trim section, the second from the bottom is the link for the above document.

Nope that worked. I see where my corn-fusion was - It is hooking up to a Safety Trim Controller and not the Safety Trim Booster that I am using. Different animal. What has to happen with the booster is that the Up/Down commands to the booster need to swap polarities depending on which way you want the motor to go. I couldn't see how that worked with the hook up you had. I didn't look closely at the controller but if I read the description right (albeit quickly) it takes care of the swap internally for up to an 10A draw from the motor. Still not sure about the diodes but hey, you're right - it's in the instructions that are written by the guys a lot smarter about this than me.

Thanks for the clarification.

Just read Eric's post and that makes sense cause there would be 12V from the controller floating out there waiting for a ground command. - Thanks Eric.
