1989 90 hp mercury 3 cylinder. ran motor for couple of hours, did not turn off. motor ran fine, gauges worked, switches on dash worked, tilt&trim worked. shut motor down to get truck, motor started back up, loaded onto trailer - shut motor off - pulled truck off of boat ramp, tilt & trim is now dead, ignition switch dead, gauges on dash are dead. accessory switches still work. motor in down postion, cannot raise. could not find manual release for tilt & trim.
unmounted shift control box from console - removed ignition switch - all electrics are now back on. did nothing else - just removed the switch, so i just put it back in, remounted shift control box. still working.
took boat out next weekend, 3 miles from boat ramp, all electrics died again, same exact sympton - same exact fix. loosened shift control box and remounted.
tried working on control box, tried tilt&trim, electric dead again. removed ignition switch - 12.5 volts at battery, only 6 volts at switch. not sure if this is normal. would love a parts breakdown of control box & a schematic of 1989 Tracker Magna, 1989 90 hp 3 cylinder.
any other suggestions would be helpful.
