I guess the way around that would be to cycle it up and down as before, but bleed any air by cracking the motor from the pump


I don't think this is necessary. It should be self-bleeding. Could it be that the pump gear sucked up some of that crap and was possibly damaged?

No short. I have the trim motor working now, but engine doesn't raise lower. Not electrical anymore. I mentioned the initial electrical problem just to list everything I did in case it was an indication of something to someone.

The brush dust that was in the electrical side of the motor did not get into the pump/hydraulic side. The shaft from the trim motor is sealed off from the pump.

I used the boat with no issues the day before with no problem. The next day the solenoid would click but the trim motor wouldn't run. I measured voltage all the way to the trim motor. That told me it was in the motor. The only thing that changed since, was that I used the manual release to raise/lower the motor and I removed the trim motor from the pump to clean out the dust.
