Are you sure those are for the trim switch? With the eye rings and colors I am thinking they may be for the MerCathode system. Just guessing.
Good Luck

Default I have a brown and orange wire
I don’t know if the trim limit was ever hooked up. Do I connect orange to blue on solenoid and brown to green?

I agree with the guys above about the mercathode. Mercathode unit in the boat was probably removed but the part mounted on the bottom of the transom assy is probably still there and that’s where these wires are coming from.

Mercathode wiring and if your not suffering from excessive electrolsys and your zincs are doing there job and your replacing them as needed you wont need a Mercathode system
