Just bought a used Hydrasport with an Evinrude 115 Intruder engine
(1996). Where are the trailer trim buttons? On my old Merc 150 they
were on the bottom right side of the engine pan but I find no buttons
in a similar location on the Evinrude. I called a local Evinrude
repair shop and the guy agreed that's where the buttons should be.
Can't feature this setup not having motor trim buttons somewhere. ???


There might not be a trim position control - you may not have trim and
tilt. There are almost 22 variations of the outboard in that same
model year (one of OMC's more - innovative - marketing decisions).
Some were only positioned at the engine control, some had both engine
and control buttons and some didn't have any.

I have the Selcoc manual for that year and model - if you can give me
the model number, I can tell if it has one or not and where it is
located.

But if you want to take a look, the trim button on those that did have
the trim button, it would be on the port side, just below the engine
cowl towards the front of the engine. Other than that, it has to be on
the engine control. If there isn't one there, you don't have trim and
tilt.

The model number would help though and I can pin it down for you.
