I had the same thing happen a couple of years ago. Found that the motor was taking a dump. It has an internal thermal overload which opens when it get to hot, after a while it will close as things cool down and work for a while.
I replaced the motor (power gear unit) but it's not a power gear motor it's a Mercury Marine power tilt motor. Power gear price around $250.
Found one new for $61.62
Here's the numbers:
10822MN New Mercury Marine Mercruiser Tilt Trim Motor $61.62
Found on amazon from Discount Starter an Alternators
