so i was given a junk boat with a decent looking force 125 on it with TNT. all the wiring is disconnected and rolled up as the previous owner was going to pull the motor and junk the boat. id like to hook a battery to the cables and try to jump it but which wires do i need to jump ?? theres is no ignition switch. also which wires do i need to jump to test the tilt and trim ?? thanks guys

Most older outboards needed the wiring to stop it, not to run. Hook up battery, fuel and water. Cross the starter solenoid and it should run.
I'm afraid I can't help you with the trim.
