Re: tilt/trim solenoid box

The T&T relays are usually in a plastic junction box bolted to the rear of the powerhead [about 3" x 4"]. If I'm understanding your situation correctly, this box is gone and the wires are just laying there unconnected. Sounds like someone took it out, maybe to work on it. You have to have these relays to make the T&T work.
