I don't have the outboard that you have (I wish I had). Last time
when my 115hp Mercury outboard has the similar problem, I tracked the
problem to the failure of one of the electric module (called "servor"
spelling???). I believe it is like a relay. One for tilting the
outboard up, another one for tilting the outboard down. I identified
the failed module by swapping those two modules, and found that the
problem went with the module. Replacing the failed one with a new one
fixed the problem. You probably need a Maintenance and Repair Manual
to locate the modules because the owner manual does not likely mention
anything about this.

YMMV
