Try taking apart the motors and cleaning the brush contact points. They and the brushes get corrosion and slow down the motor due to low current. I had one noisy and slow, picked right back up when I opened and cleaned it, been a full season since.

that helps, . a\but if im not mistaken, the metal canister pumps come for both tabs and trim, and they seem to be different. usually the tabs are a lil slower.

i ve heard that this is due in part to the use of the outboard trim pump motor in an in board application.

good luck.
