I've purchased my first boat - '95 Bayliner Capri Classic with the
Alpha One 135 engine. The Power trim up switch doesn't work, but the
down switch does. I can raise the motor for trailering by using the out
switch, but can't trim the motor up. Any ideas? Also, the speedometer
works about half the time. Is it a bad speedometer? How hard is it to
check? Any help would be appreciated.

The trim position sender on the side of the outreive is bad. Live without
it if you can. It's a pain in the butt to change. Speedometers are
inacurate, clog easy, and aren't really necessary. Problems are usually
with the Pitot tube.

Why would you say the trim position sender is bad? The statement is the
trim only works one way. Aren't there relays in the circuit? Check if
power is going to pull the relay, or swap the relays and see if the trim
works the other way.
