I have a Mercruiser 230/V8 and my trim down works fine, however trim up does not work at all. when I trailer the boat I simply push the trailer button for the motor to go up, but i would like my trim up to work for trimming purposes.
This is my first boat and I was hoping someoby might guide me in the right direction to start the troubleshooting process, or if somebody already knows the problem I would be greatful to hear a resolution.

Thank you, and let me know if you need more info.

Is the outdrive a Alpha 1? If it is then the probable cause is the trim sender. It is located on the outdrive. There are two senders one for the guage and one for the limit on the outdrive for triming up. Its there to protect the bearings and u-joints.
