HI all-
Thanks in advance for the help. I'm trying to sell my 2012 Merc 9.9HP manual 4-stroke. When I bring the tilt up to lock it in a horizontal position, the tilt tube or tilt axel rarely kicks out to lock against the side. The motor simple falls back down unless I use some needle nose pliers to push it back into position. I've tried WD-40, but it doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions? Anyone had this before? I've attached a photo. The pin/tube/axel will not naturally pop back to the left (direction of red arrow).
Best,
Chad
