The motor sirts on top of the trim fluid reservoir; probably on the port side in the engine compartment. Is the trim pump running, or is it dead when you truy to trim down ? If it trims up OK, then it's not the breaker or motor. There's a couple of relays on the trim pump/ reservoir assembly( one for "up", the other for "down"; try swapping them over in case the "down" relay is faulty, or there's a loose or poor connection due to corrosion etc.

It is a 2006 - the motor should be the newer style that is not the type that sits on top of the reservoir on the port side (easy to "tap" and diagnose). Unfortunately I think it is the external type, pictured here:

Otherwise, it would be the internal type, pictured in this thread:

You didn't specify which Volvo drive you have, but if that boat has a volvo "SX-A" drive, the pump is external as stated above and you might be suffering from a design flaw that causes the hydraulic fluid to leak out. Luckily they warrantied mine when I discovered it and there is a redesign kit available. Of course in this case, you should at least still hear the motor trying... if tapping on it doesn't work, i'm pretty sure this motor also has a fuse. Check both fuse boxes (below dash and in the engine compartment)
