I was checking on the boat today and was unable to tilt the motor up. Neither the switch on the motor or on the throttle is working. The battery is fully charged. There is no noise at all when the switch is used so I don't think it has anything to do with the motor or pump that activates the tilt. Any ideas? Thanks!
Sounds like we may be suffering the same problem. Can you tilt yours down, or does the motor engage when you try and go down?
Mine is tilted down for storage. When I tried to tilt it up nothing happened. It is like the switch is dead. Both switches...on the motor and on the throttle. Mine is a 115hp with only about 50 hours. Maybe the relay?
I can't find any relay on mine to check but I did see several on e-bay. It is just a guess on mine that I am having motor trouble as nothing else makes sence. If I can ever get the darn thing out to have it checked I will let you know what I find.
the relays are under the hood, bolted to the passenger side of the block. they look like automotive starter solenoids, should be two of them, check for power across them when you engage the switch

I dont know if this will help but mine did the same thing one time. It was the battery cable. It felt like it was tight but wasn't. It was just loose enough off the battery to cause it not to work. You may try that.
