[QUOTE="Kier, post: 427814, member: 13279"] It was 25 degrees here tonight, but I had to know. I went out and cut out the old fuse holder and put in the new Asdomo circuit breaker and re-mounted my forward controls. I mounted my forward controls on wood so it cant short out unless it does it internally. I am trying to fix the issue every way possible. 1) Install circuit breaker so I dont run out of fuses and get stranded. 2) Taped the bare wires hopefully fixing the short. 3) Isolated the controls from the boat via wood. After installing the circuit breaker the tilt came back to life. I put the motor in and out of gear several times and it still worked. Hooray! I usually go out early March and will report back if everything goes well then. The Asdomo circuit breaker barely fit under the cowling. So if you are looking to use this on another outboard make sure you have the room for it before purchasing. [/QUOTE]
