Mounting this motor on my boat, removed it from a 16' Baja. I be run into some confusion with the trim tilt wiring, any help is appreciated

First pic is what I have coming from the remote control:

This is what I have coming for the motor end. The wires on the bottom appear to go into the solenoid? not the tilt motor:

I remember that the blue and green (up/down) were definitely connected to each other but the red coming from the control as well as the black from the motor (I would assume it is the ground to battery) and the two other wire coming out are what I can't remember how they were.
I should say this is my first time messing with power trim as I've only had smaller motors before

Thanks

On the second pic, the two black wires are probably for the trim sender-going to a trim gauge on the dash. Between the 3 wires from the dash, going to the 3 wires on the motor should be the 1979 factory trim control box. Hopefully you have one from a 79. It's not the same as the dual relay boxes used sometime after 1981. Your box will have some wire connections and a single solenoid to control the "up" movement only. You can view the trim control box parts on the original factory parts website: epc.brp.com
