Hello fellow boaters,

Well here goes post#1 for my first boat related issue. I recently acquired a 1993 Grady-White 208 WA powered by a 1993 Johnson Ocean Runner 200hp. It's my first boat and I am having a fun time tinkering with it. Anyway onto my problem.

When I first got the boat after I pressed and released the tilt trim raise/lower buttons, the motor itself would continue moving by itself at times like it was possessed. I would have to turn off battery power and try again. On the control side, the up/down on the handle would work but not consistently.

What I have done so far is replace both relays for the tilt/trim in the motor. Now the up/down from the motor itself works perfect but now no response at all from the control side for the up/down. Any idea what might be going on here, thanks...

check the control cable connection prolly dirty.That connection sometimes gets tucked up under the carbs and can get wet,oily.The wire connection has its own connector with a red,green,blue wires
