Trim / tilt unit troubleshooting help 250 YAMAHA

My trim/ tilt unit quit yesterday after i trimmed up to go over a sand bar. Some basic troubleshooting revealed the up/ down relay is clicking and the big honker 80 amp fuses look ok.

Is there any other troubleshooting I can do? Perhaps another fuse in line that I am overlooking or some kind of a shutoff low oil relay or something else to check before I go out and have to buy a new trim motor? Thanks in advance for your input. Dink

Mine did that a couple of months ago and all it was was a relay 15.00 item the one that is clicking is the one that is bad! Hope that helps...

Can you tell me where he relay is located? I heard the clicks when i pressed the trim switch but couldn't locate it. It sounded like it was near the big fuse panel but wasn't obvious to me.
