I'm having a similar issue (but the other direction). When switching,
do you hear the click back in the trim motor, or only on the switch?

I'm hearing it click on the trim motor, but it's like it's having a
hard time getting started. After 6-8 tries it will usually work.
Unfortunately the switch is in the throttle handle, and doesn't seem
easy to open up for cleaning.

Any advice?

This happens frequently, usually only when moving the boat out of the shed.

When I press the down button, it works fine. When I press the up, it only
clicks once and then nothing.

I did notice the last time this happened, if I would quickly move the switch
up and down, it started working. This only happend once, so I don't know if
it did anything or it just decided to work when I tried it....

Anyone have a clue as to what's causing this?

Sounds like the switch is bad.
