2001 johnson 35 hp 3 cylinder trim noise

Anyone know this knocking sound on trim down operation? I tilted all the way up, checked fluid level. Makes noise on down trim. Previous owner put in a new trim motor which appears to work fine.

Disconnect the trim motor and lower manually and see if the sound is still there. Could be the hinge point making that sound....mabey.....
