Just a reminder to check fuses! If you have a relatively new outboard, youre going to have fuses. Some more than others! ⚡️
This optimax had a sudden loss of its tilt and trim from the console and from the side of the motor. I initially suspected an issue with the solenoid, but decided to check fuses. Lo and behold a little 15amp fuse was busted.
Granted, it's something that you may want to keep an eye on. If it continues to blow you unfortunately, have another issue.
In your emergency kit for your boat, I recommend keeping some spares for your motor as well as spare fuses for the boat itself, If you don't already have them! 🔌⚡️
