Yamaha Trim Tilt Issue

Hey guys,
I woke up this morning to go fishing and the engine wont tilt up.

2001 Yamaha 4 Stroke

The switch clicks like it is trying to turn it on, and going down I can hear it working a little....slowly went down. Up...nothing but a click.

It almost seems like an battery issue where she just doesnt have the power to puch it up. Battery says it has volts, but amps are for pushing power. I am swapping some batteries around to see if that is it.

Anything else I should be looking at right now?

Thanks,
Dave

UPDATE:
Same thing whether on the tt at the throttle or tt on the engine.

Tried 3 batteries, clean terminals, clean connections.

Nothing changed with anything so far.

The motor will start perfect so I know I have good battery connection and good volts/amps

Any ideas? Im starting to thing the trim motor crapped out on me. If I manually bring the engine up, the motor will engage to sslllooooooowwwlllyyy take it down though.

Thanks,
Dave
 
Well, I got the engine raised so I could get to everything.


I took the cover off the motor.......very damp!


So while watching the engine I hit the switch.....little puffs of smoke everytime I touched the switch!


So, I think I have my problem! Now to find a new motor at a reasonable price.


I anyone has other ideas I should look into?


Thanks,
Dave
