When I need to raise the motor I have to really yank the cable to get it to release, I guess the k
locking mechanism is in a bind, any quick fixes ? Thanks

Bump stop need adjusted? Maybe it’s just a tad to long and putting to much pressure on the lock.

Your trolling motor is mounted in a twist and the mount is not running "square" to the latch bar. You need to loosen bolts to relieve the twist, the shim the loose bolts.

Mine was having a little difficulty after some use. A little spray lube and good to go.

Formulation
WD-40's formula is a trade secret, and has not changed over the years, according to historian Iris Engstrand.[3]
To avoid disclosing its composition, the product was not patented in 1953, and the window of opportunity for patenting it has long since closed.[7] WD-40's main ingredients as supplied in aerosol cans, according to US Material Safety Data Sheet information, are:
50% "aliphatic hydrocarbons". The manufacturer's website claims this ratio in the current formulation cannot accurately be described as Stoddard solvent, a similar mixture of hydrocarbons.[16]
<25% petroleum base oil. Presumably a mineral oil or light lubricating oil.
12–18% low vapor pressure aliphatic hydrocarbon. Reduces the liquid's viscosity so that it can be used in aerosols. The hydrocarbon evaporates during application.
2–3% carbon dioxide. A propellant which is now used instead of the original liquefied petroleum gas to reduce WD-40's flammability. (A bulk liquid version, without a propellant, is also manufactured for industrial use.)
<10% inert ingredients.
The German version of the mandatory EU safety sheet lists the following safety-relevant ingredients:
60–80% hydrogen-treated heavy naphtha (a petroleum product used in wick-type cigarette lighters)
1–5% carbon dioxide
It warns of the product's high flammability and the risk of irritation to human skin when repeatedly exposed to WD-40. Wearing nitrile rubber gloves and safety glasses are advised (ordinary rubber disintegrates if exposed to petroleum products). It also mentions that water is unsuitable for extinguishing burning WD-40.
In 2009, Wired published an article with the results of gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy tests on WD-40, showing that the principal components were C9 to C14 alkanes and mineral oil.[17]
