If you have done some work lately, the trim lines (and relay wires)are probably crossed. The trim out/up pressure is higher than the trim in/down on the pump, thrust load requires more pressure. Hope this helps!

does the oil in the pump look milky/foamy ????
I bet it does . Whatsoever if not ,,,reverse the lines and try again ,,,if that does not help,its the pump itself. But i doubt that.

Just throwing this out there. Is your alternator charging correctly?
When mine went out once. The battery was so dead, When I hit the trim switch it actually got to the point it was cutting coil power to the engine.
