Default Tilt/Trim Motor Getting Extremly Hot, Bonding wires melting

Check the basics first. Are you sure the motor is properly grounded? No
corrosion on the ground connector?

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
