Need help quick motor won't trim down!!

[Newbie@boats]

Evinrude SPL112 supposed to go fishing tomorrow and motor trims up fine but won't go down at all!

If I release the screw it slowly falls.

Both relays click for up and down and the pump runs for down but doesn't actually pull the motor down even if I stand on the engine.

Help please! Bad pump?

I tried swapping relays to no avail

Well I can rule out the motor. I took the whole trim assembly off removed the motor and it spins perfectly both ways when applying 12V

I disconnected the lines to the actual trim cylinder and it's almost impossible to push up or down by hand without any fluid in it. Is this normal?

Have you checked the fluid level?

Seems I got it figured out.

Took the entire assembly apart and found under the motor there's almost like a little pump assembly it slides into....there's was like a plunger that was all gummed up took it out cleaned it re assembled and it's going up and down no problem now.

There's also 3 hydro arms one big one and 2 little ones the 2 little ones wouldn't move at all until I took it all apart I believe that helped fix it as well
