    Yamaha 115 1996 no power from trim/tilt switch

    Hello all. I have not been out in my boat for a couple of months. When I hit the switch on the throttle, nothing happened. No clicking, nothing up or down. It just does not seem to have any power from the switch. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I was up on top for about 15 minutes, and going back to the ramp at slow speed, it began to run rough, then stalled. after that it would start and immediately shut down. Any thoughts?

    Trim/tilt goes on automatically

    ?I came in from fishing today and cleaned the boat. A few hours later my son came in saying my engine was making noises. It was the trim/tilt. It just started going down and would not stop. I disconnected the battery and waited. It started again. Any suggestion as to the problem and a fix?
