I have a '78 Mercruiser 470 and today on the water my tilt wouldn't go up. I replaced the solenoid and it still wont go up, but it goes down. I used a screw driver on the 2 main bolts to get it up at the dock. I have included a picture of the solenoid and wiring. There is a RED and PURPLE wire...
I just purchased a 1978 AMF Crestliner Crusader 775 and am learning as i go. This is our first boat and i also know I need to purchase a manual. I was hoping someone could help with this until then.
I have attached the photos of the white hose that is under the engine and runs out to the side...
