hello fellow boaters, what are the two buttons on the base of the throttle do? please advise, and I'm also googling for the manual but unsuccessful.

Hi there, welcome to iboats!

Below is a quote taken from page 22 of the following link covering the Buttons you're inquiring about.... http://www.appletonpier.com/auctions...s%20manual.pdf

Controls with catch button, twin installation
There are two tumbler switches (3) on the port control lever for individual adjustment of drive trim. By pressing the tumbler switches upwards, the drives are trimmed out and the bow is raised. When the switches are pressed down, the drives are trimmed in and the bow is lowered. Buttons (4) are used to bypass the catch which prevents entry to the “Beach” area for each drive and make it possible to adjust the trim in this area.
Note! The catch button does not have any function if the drive does not have a trim limiter.

Here's some good general info and a good visual of the inside workings of the control unit for you.
