Hello, The tilt Guage for my 2003 250 hp Evinrude outboard is not working. The motor tilts up and down fine, it's just the Guage. I've attached a picture of the tilt lever on the back of the boat. It moves up and down and the Guage works when I move it manually, but it does hit the black round cylinder piece in the down position. Is it supposed to do this? Does anyone know how I can get the Guage working again?

If it's working manually but not when your triming it...the orientation must be incorrect. Tucked up kinda high usually. They do get gummed up and won't operate well if you don't maintain them

looks like the arm popped out. I believe it is supposed to sit between those 2 posts on the switch.
