Re: Tilt problem.
I have an early 80's 150 Merc OB. The Tilt/Trim motor is seperate from the OB located under the splash well.
I have had two issues with my Tilt/Trim and I am not sure if they were related. The Trim would go up by itself and not turn off until the battey died. The switdh on the Trottle was replaced. The Mechanic also put a lot of Elec Goop around the inside if the switch because he thought water was getting in thru the throttle handle. That solved that problem. The second issue happen later that season and was similar to your issue. It was intermitent for awhile until a few weeks later it would not go up at all. It was a bad Soleniod in the Trim Tilt moter. This only took the mechanic 1/2 hour to diagnos and repair. I believe the part was under $30.
