Sounds like it is drawing too much. Since it's still working I'd check to
see if something is binding causing it to have to work harder before
suspecting the motor.

My Tilt/Trim motor gets very hot after only cycling the engine the full
range a couple of times. also the bonding wires on my outboard are
getting extremly hot and melting the insulation. None of this occurs
on my other engine. I'm wondering if the motor ismessed up and is
shorting out... if so what do I replace? Armature, brushes, breaker,
springs???

Thanks
