I purchased a 1988 Invader boat, I believe its 18ft, has 150hp Johnson OB.
It has been in someones back yard for a while uncovered so lots of leaves and some dry rot. The engine starts but the trim doesn't work. I am a complete newb , this is my first boat. A work buddy told me there is an inline fuse in the wiring but I cant follow the wiring from the trim motor( ? pump) all the the way to the throttle. I think something is missing. Where should I start. I have no paper work only the titles . I'm trying to find a wiring diagram on line but I keep hitting dead ends . Whats the first thing I should do ?
