Hello. I've searched this forum and can't find the answers i'm looking for so I'm hoping someone will be able to help me out.
The control box on my 79 ranger bass boat has trim/tilt, electric choke, Trailer button and for some reason the engine lowering function has become intermittent. I believe the issue resides in the control box. I've been able to remove the handle and test the switch which works fine. The trailer lift button works consistently. I know how to get the black plastic cover off the control box but I'm not sure how to actually separate the alum inum box itself. It appears that I need to open that box to get to the screws that mount the box to the boat. There are two studs with nuts that I can loosen but the box doesn't separate when I do and I don't want to pry out of fear that I will break something. Is there anyone out there who knows how to take this beast apart?
