this is a 70 hp and has been sitting for months. had to free the steering cable.....that was a trick, but has been garaged since i bought it and not subject to weather. always tried to keep it clean of salt water corrosion. recently had to paint the cover for the TT motor bc of rust, but didnt try to remove it. wondering where/how to trouble shoot the problem. thank you.

Follow the wires from the tilt motor to a plug.---------------Seperate the plug and jump 12 volts to the two wires in the plug.--------------One to positive and one to negative. see if motor operates.----------------------then reverse the 2 wires and see if it goes the other way.----------this is a way to bypass the electrics on the controls.
