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.

I think I've narrowed the issue down to the frayed wire on the trim motor. Now I guess there is nothing to do but wait for pay day and replace it. At least it's cheaper than a new boat.

The saga continues...finally got a new trim motor. Went to a local place rather than ordering it online. The guy asked what year and horsepower the motor is then brought out a trim motor with a different part number than what I had researched. When I asked him about the difference he explained the part number he had superseded mine. Ok I thought, this place has a good reputation and he has a parts catalog thicker than a New York City phone book. Swipe of my card and home I go one happy camper. Until I go to install it and realize the connections on the wires are not the same. Not even close. And now they're closed until Monday. So my Father's Day out on the water is ruined and I'm furious. Should've just got it online.
