Bill,
The tilt is dependent on weight in the boat, location of people, etc. The majority of people set it by feel. For a pontoon with low horsepower a general setting is set it so the propeller is horizontal to the floats (pontoons). Since you only have a 15hp on it I would set it this way. That way your propeller is pushing water straight back and all power is utilized in moving the boat and not wasted on raising or lowering the bow/front of the boat under power which is what your tilt up or down does. Raise it up your bow goes up. Tilt it down and your bow goes down.
Fred-
On you transom (back end of the boat) usually on the top right hand corner is molded in a set of letters that can tell you the year of your vessel and usually the builder too.
There is a fan sequencer inside the electrical panel near the blower. Depending on what kind of blower you have there should be several different speeds you can set it on, just read your schematic on the inside panel. And of course dont forget to check your wiring from the thermostat, the wire is usually green, but it would depend on the installer, i have seen peaple use all different colors over the years.
You can always close the top by pulling it up by hand. It pulls hard but you can pull it up and it might require two peaple, and then latch it down. Fuses fail to connect in the fuse panel and the switchs fail as do the motor in the pump that makes the top move. Your right also that if the car doesn't sense that the e= brake isn't on or the is'nt moving it'll not work the top either. Many fuses have to be good for all the systems that interlock the top to work the most common fuse to blow is the cigar lighter fuse as peaple plug in things that short out oftern.
Does it start soetimes? Has it been down all this time? Is it got enough gas? the gauge can be wrong. fuel pumps and gauges are failing alot as the tequies used to steal gas are breking things that peaple don't think about. Peaple steal gas to get to the job they haven't gotton yet. It's getting bad out there It was only once in a while I found this problem but now it's everyday. One in 5 no starts are out of gas and most of the peaple said they keep the tank full ( thier thief knows you and gets plenty, then next htings you know he bends the fuel gauge sender and takes all you gas or you don't but more as you think you have some and you don't.
Check the running height of the motor.The prop shaft should be about one inch below the straight line of the bottom of the running bottom of the boat.With a cleaver prop it may be lower.A chopper prop is the best and you can run every bit of that.2 inches if pitch is = to about 500 revs.Try a few props 1st before you pay the dollars for a new one.The bouncing is the wrong transom height and prop.You don,t need a cav plate if the boat is set up right.(a cav plate extension like a manta).Bad dealers may want to sell you these.A well set up boat doesn't.I've set up and run a lot of ski racing boats and all have never needed any "bolt on parts".Its mainly a motor height and prop selection thing.Hope this helps
