Which of these are my Tilt Switches

[woody619]

I need your help. My dad and I just got this boat. It's our first. We're trying to figure out our Tilt Switch, not sure if somethings wrong or maybe we don't know where it is. Here's some Pics from left to right. Could it be any of these? Or should I be looking for switches elsewhere.

It's a 26' Sea Ray, Inboard, 350 Chevy Engine w/ Pre Alpha Outdrive

Here's what we know

(From Left to Right)
Switch 7 is Windshield
Switch 8 is Cabin Bilge

Left White Switch is Trim Tab
Right White Switch is Trim Tab

Black Button Switches are unknown

Tilt switch should be a momentary one. That is it will return to off when you let it go. I don't see any that look like that type except the two white ones you have identified as trim tabs and the black buttons. It could be the black buttons but I don't know why there would be three. Two should be enough.

the three black push buttoms are your trim and tilt. The top is trim, the top and middle pushed at the same time tilt. the bottom down.

Thanks! I kinda thought that. I can't get my tilt to lower or do anything actually. I'm taking this thing to a marine mechanic this week to get it figured out. It could be so many things I don't know about. Thanks for the help guys!

I think it's a 1979 Searay Weekender.

Re: Which of these are my Tilt Switches

at rear in engine bay you should be able to see a pump.hunt for the green and blue wires on it.
blue wire (sky)up
green wire(grass) down
connect a + from the battery with a wire to either and should activate trim in either direction.if it moves could be a switch/solenoid/wiring prob.
report your findings with pic may help too if all is still connected up.
