    Trim tilt

    The trim / tilt works on the outboard and throttle lever but I have lost the use of trim / tilt on the steering colum and front console....both of those went out at the same time...crawled under console and see nothing loose...any ideas?

    Follow the steering column wires if it's an add on blinker type system. They would have spliced into the boat wiring to add it on, the odds say there would be the best place to look. If curious go to the bow, find a good ground for your meter, and check the center (red) wire for 12 volts.

    I'm guessing there is a place where the front is "tapped" into the trim wires, then someone "tapped" into those wires for the blinker. You'll probably find your problem at those connections.
