Hey Scott,
The plastic piece to which you are referring is called a "shell" by BRP. The number is 334153. Buy more than one they have a tendancy to fail at the wrong times.

Re: tilt assist lever...

I seem to have the same exact issue with my evinrude 40 - same picture as above... Mine is stuck in the down position... I can move the actuator with the broken half of the 'shell' still attached to it both up or down but it will not release...
system was working before the shell snapped so I don't have reason to think the cylinder is frozen...
Any tips on what I'll need to release the lower pin if need be would be appreciated and a rec on where to buy the shell (334153)

thanks!
