"Hey Jim, sounds like a problem Iv'e had in the past. The small black boxes are your trim relay switches. They probably need replacing. They are'nt too expensive. you might even try an auto parts store like napa. In the mean time,what worked for me is if you have someone else on the boat with you,you can turn on the ignition switch and have them hold the tilt switch either up or down (depending on what position the motor needs to go) while you Jiggle or Put a little sideways Pressure on the relay switches till you figure out which switch is up and which is down. This will work if you happen to be stuck at the launch ramp trying to go home but you really need to replace the switches so that you can trim your motor while underway on the water. Remember, "Where theres a will, theres a Wake" Good Luck"
