Ok, I have a 77 bass boat with a 77 evinrude 70 hp engine. Yesterday I noticed my tilt and trim was sounding a little weak and was having trouble pushing the outboard. I used the trolling motor a lot yesterday. When I went to put the boat on the trailer it would barely pick up the outboard.

Now it will only move the motor about an inch and sounds kinda weak trying to do it. I have tried topping off the fluid and charging the battery with no results. I think I have also managed to break the down position on the switch on the throttle lever

Any help?
Thank you

I have also noticed that the lights are kinda dim

I wonder if my battery could be junk and wont hold a charge
