I'm not sure about the 120, but on my 155, the solenoids are on the top rear of the engine compartment. I can't remember if they mount to the stern drive housing or the engine block, but there's not a lot of real estate and they should be easy to find either way if they're in the same place. There are 2 solenoids, one to the left and one to the right, (up and down I think, but again can't remember for sure as that repair was a good 20 years ago).

Subject: [OMC-Boats] Tilt not working on 1967 Sportsman 120
I went ahead and bought a battery, Marine - Starting, and started testing things out on the dash. Blower checks out ok but the tilt isn't working. I can hear a clicking in the rear when I flip the switch, but the engine isn't tilting. From researching a bit it seems the tilt is controlled by a solenoid. How do I track down the problem? Is it possible that the solenoid is bad even though it is clicking? Bad contacts perhaps?
Right now I'm waiting for a second set of hands so I can figure out where the solenoid is located.
