Default Mercruiser outdrive trims up but not down

Went to take the runabout for a spin yesterday after not using it for
6 months or so, and discovered that the outdrive is stuck about
halfway up. It will go farther up but not down. The hydraulic
resevoir is full, the pump sounds like it is running OK in both
directions but no downward motion, even when standing on the outdrive.

Any suggestions?

Trim sensor bad or connections corroded? Been a long time since I
had an I/O but I remember having some similar issues with one and it
was the trim sensor wiring. FlaJim determined what the problem was
and fixed it.
