EMP Power Trim Relay for Evinrude Outboard Motors, Part 300-01561

The EMP Power Trim Relay, part number 300-01561, is an electrical relay built for the power trim and tilt systems on Evinrude outboard motors. The trim relay is the switching component that directs battery current to the trim/tilt pump motor when the operator presses the trim switch, allowing the outboard to raise and lower under power. When a trim relay fails or sticks, the outboard may not tilt or trim at all, or may trim in only one direction, so replacing the relay with a properly rated unit restores normal up/down operation.

This relay is built to handle the higher current draw of a trim/tilt motor circuit and is sized as a direct fit for Evinrude outboard trim relay applications. It is a compact, sealed electrical component intended to mount in the existing relay location in the outboard's wiring harness alongside the trim/tilt system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the EMP 300-01561 relay used for? EMP part 300-01561 is a power trim relay that switches battery current to the trim/tilt pump motor on an Evinrude outboard, allowing the motor to raise and lower when the trim switch is pressed.

Will this relay fit my Evinrude outboard? The EMP 300-01561 is designed for Evinrude outboard motor trim/tilt systems; check that your outboard's trim relay is the failed component before ordering a replacement.

How do I know if my trim relay needs to be replaced? If an Evinrude outboard will not tilt or trim, trims in only one direction, or the trim motor runs but the outboard does not move, a failed trim relay such as the EMP 300-01561 is a common cause.

How much does the EMP 300-01561 trim relay weigh? The EMP 300-01561 power trim relay weighs 0.082 pounds.

What is the UPC for the EMP 300-01561 relay? The UPC for the EMP 300-01561 Power Trim Relay is 840080465227.

Is the EMP 300-01561 an OEM or aftermarket part? EMP 300-01561 is an aftermarket power trim relay manufactured to serve as a direct replacement in Evinrude outboard trim/tilt circuits.

What is included when I order part 300-01561? Ordering EMP 300-01561 includes one power trim relay for the Evinrude outboard trim/tilt system.

Can I install the trim relay myself? The EMP 300-01561 relay mounts in the outboard's existing trim relay location and connects to the existing wiring harness, which allows for straightforward replacement by anyone comfortable working with marine electrical connections.

Does the trim relay affect steering or only trim/tilt? The EMP 300-01561 relay is part of the trim/tilt circuit only; it controls the up and down movement of the outboard and is not part of the steering system.

What symptoms show up specifically from a bad trim relay versus a bad trim motor? With a failed trim relay like the EMP 300-01561, the trim/tilt motor typically will not run at all in the affected direction because it is not receiving switched power, whereas a bad trim motor may hum or draw current without moving the outboard.
