    Default tracker/merc tilt


    my son has a 99 merc 115 with a single tilt cylinder, the problem is when you let the motor down it makes a squeal, you can spray the shaft with a little wd40 and it will stop but after a few minutes it starts again, seems to work the way it should and is not low on fluid. any thoughts?

    If there is beauty in the person, there will be harmony in the house.
    If there is harmony in the house, there will be order in the nation.
    If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world

    WD40 isn't much of a lubricant. The WD means "Water Displacing", and that's what it was designed for. Use some spray white lithium grease or just dab some marine grease on there and see if that lasts better.
