1977 Starcraft 16SS. Evinrude 85. On the lake this weekend the motor would not react to pushing the tilt/trim toggle switch in the up direction. I'm assuming there's a mechanical fault that a shop will have to address, but has anyone else had this experience?

This should be in the Rude section

Need to check your wiring and fuse. Here is wiring
Trace the wiring with voltmeter

Is it a tilt and trim or just a tilt?

I have a tilt only, works great at idle speeds. Anything above idle and it won't hold.

Someday I'll install the PT&T unit I picked up.
