So I called the local repair shop and they have the relays in stock. I'll swing by tomorrow after work and see if that doesn't solve my problem. I would have gone earlier in the week but the weather hasn't been cooperative. If not I guess I'll have to try your advice Destroyer. By the was it's a 2000 Evinrude Ocean Pro 200 hp. And yes, I did retighten the manual release screw.

Tried lightly tapping it with a hammer?

So I finally got the trim relays I needed and the weather is cooperating. The good news is it got the motor moving. The bad news is it's only moving a few inches before stopping. I can hear what sounds like a bubbling noise when I hit the up or down button. After watching a dozen YouTube videos I'm fairly certain I bled the air properly. Are there any seals or gaskets I should be inspecting to see if they have failed? I've never owned a boat with power trim before so this is uncharted territory for me. I'm really hoping I don't need to replace the whole assembly. Also, the motor is a 1994, not 2000 as I previously stated. Not sure where that came from...

On my 98 I had the same issue. It turned out to be a bad wire on the limit switch. I replaced the section and it works.

Upon further inspection I noticed that there are two wires that go from the motor to the trim motor, a blue one and a green one. The blue one has been smashed almost flat where it enters the trim motor. I borrowed a voltmeter tonight and will check tomorrow to ensure there is enough power going to the trim motor. That'll be a $200+ fix if it's the problem.

Maybe you can disassemble the motor and repair the wire.

Should be able to put 12vt to those wires and make motor go up and down, this will eliminate all variables upstream of motor.
Hot wire to one at a time, unit grounds through the frame, hope that makes sense. One damaged wire is going to give you loss of one function. |

I thought about that but unless I can take the cover off the motor I don't think it's going to happen. There's just not enough slack to cut and splice.
