[QUOTE="Still Afloat, post: 500035, member: 32426"] Airshot - I had something similar on a boat that I bought a couple of years ago. It‘s 1997 Crestliner and 115 Evenrude. Anyway, the previous owner shorted the remote tilt/trim switch at the bow. I was having intermittent issues and a blown fuse. The problem was several wires in the power head had melted the insulation off. It was tucked in there pretty good it took some digging to find the wires. The repair involved cutting one end of each wire, sliding a length of heat shrink over the area, soldering a splice and shrinking the tube over each wire. I would have preferred to replace that portion of the wiring harness but, that was a bigger job than I wanted to dig into on an older outboard with limited parts availability. I suspect that your outboard still has some shorted or damaged wires. [/QUOTE]
