We have a nissan nsf20c that has performed basically flawlessly since new. It has electric start and power trim/tilt. We had the misfortune of bumping into an underwater tree, which afterwards the starting and tilt power was intermittent, then no power to either at all. I checked both of the 20 amp fuses and they are good. I have power going to both the starter solenoid and the trim tilt solenoid, yet nothing when we try to use the electric start or raise/lower the motor. Trying to save a trip of taking the boat in to the marina for service, as well as the cost. Any suggestions as to what I be looking for to help solve the problems will be GREATLY appreciated, until then we are stuck on the trailer as we can't raise or lower the motor to get in the water..
Thanks in advance

Verify grounds and the cable to the RC control box.
Thanks Paul! I will check the grounds and post results. Ours doesn't have a RC box, tiller version with trim buttons on tiller handle. Thanks again for the advice, I'll check it out after work today!
