Tilt and Trim power

[fishing_nv]

Hi Everyone:

I was out fishing yesterday, and on the way home the water was a little rough and when I went to tilt the engine it simply didn't work anymore, It was working at the dock, The engine is always left raised and locked, so it worked fine on the dock however I did notice that the sound of the hydraulics were not as loud as ususal ( sort of almost sounded like if the battery was dying) sounded lower, and lowered a little slower.
I tried both the switch on the engine, as well as the one on the con*****.
When I finally got back yo dock I tried the switch one more time and I think I heard a low pitch clicking noise, almost sounds like when a cars battery is dead.
Any idea on what I might check aside from the relay switch?

Thanks.

Sounds like a poor electrical connection, or no hydraulic fluid in trim and tilt?

Thanks, I checked all the wiring connections and they seem to be good, I will check the relays and I wount doubt it if the motor just wenrt bad.
