I found that when I pulled on one of the wires to the trim gauge the engine went up. I stripped it back and the copper was really corroded and turned to dust when I touched it. I changed out a long section for now and it seems to be working. I need to get a connector that has a barb on it,so it will lock into the plastic housing, and I should be in business.

Sounds like a trim limit switch. Most people bypassed them because they fail quite often.

I just realized that the trim gauge was linked to the tilt/ trim unit.
