    Check you have power at the tilt and trim motor, this will tell which way to go, motors are pretty simple, could be brushes or worn bushes, motor has tie rods down into the pump housing. Don't damage the magnets in the motor

    definitely as Maca says, funny but the motor works harder lowering than lifting. check oil for air and also check screw on the side of the trim lift for tightness.

    Are the brushes making contact with the spindle?

    Is the relay further up the line shot? OK flicking one direction but not the other.

    Since you have the motor out, If you put (I assume 12V) on the leads with it all assembled does it spin??
    If it does I might be looking else where in the supply line

    And then swap leads and make sure it spins the other way.

    No power up and down to wires that connect to trim motor check ! Motor not spin when it's wires on bat terminal . I'm not that mechanical but can't really see what's up with it as it looks simple enough . Maybe not clean enough ?

    As mike says, com wires ok no damage? You can check the armature with a meter, are the magnet ok not broken cracked or loose, you have the arm correct way round in the stator? Are the bearing bushes ok some time the arm locks on magnets.
