The tilt sensor on my BF75 Honda sticks in the down position. I can not find any information in my manual on this particular part. What us the best way to free it up? Just spray with WD-40?? Is it removable and requires greasing?I use the boat in salt water an am guessing that some salt crystals are causing it to stick. Just want to do it right.

Re: How to free up tilt sensor on Honda

OK after a couple of days with no replies I decided to proceed. The plastic armed sensor is fairly easy to access with the motor tilted up. I sprayed the spring area with WD-40 which seemed to do the trick. I was considering using spray lithium grease but decided not to for the time being. My online manual does not show this item being greased. If anyone thinks that is a good thing to do please chime in. At least for now my tilt gauge is working again.
