I have a mid 70s chrysler 115 outboard. There's just green wire, blue wire, hot and ground. I think I should put in-line fuse at hot. If so what, amperage?

2nd question: Also needs new dash switch. what should the switch be rated at for amperage again?

Thanks for any help on this

Yes put a 20 amp fuse on the hot
You should be using relays so switch rating can be less then 20 amps, but heavier is always better in these cases

Thank you AllDodge for the help. I don't yet know what a relay is but your diagram helps. I will get it done!

If I recall right on my old 120 HP Chrysler there was no relays in the tilt/trim system.
