On the tilt sender, it looks like it's attached to the starboard side of the
outdrive.

But it's not "attached" to anything to move it "up/down"

Should it be spring loaded internally? There's a small hole in the sender,
which is probably why it's not operational anymore.

I have a manual; but it doesn't really discuss it other than "adjustment";
which; the sender doesn't look like it can be adjusted.

Manually moving the lever doesn't change the guage. It always reads "up".

I tried to take a picture of the sender; but they didn't come out.

The only way I can see it "working" is:
the lever is spring loaded to want to be "up", when the outdrive is down; it
presses on the lever moving it; and indicating it's down.

Any ideas?
