Might be a silly question but I just bought a 87 Whaler from a deceased friends wife. Its been sitting over a year but was winterized before he got sick.
Its got a Evinrude 88 on it & I want to tilt the motor up so I can get a drum under it & see if/how it runs. But I dont know how the power tilt works. Theres 2 buttons on the side of the engine but nothing happens when they are pushed. I hooked up a battery I thought was charged & not only doesn't the tilt work but it would apear I dont have any juice going to the motor since it wouldnt crank at all. The horn works but all I get is an alarm type sound when I turn the key on. Theres no manual with the boat & his wife has no idea.
Anyway my major question is are those buttons for the tilt, but any help at all would be great.
