I agree with your ethics, but you're not their Mom, they are adults, you do not want to complicate the sale, and this is insignificant economically wrt the house as a whole. I'd be surprised if this is the "worst" detail on your house. This is Say NOTHING before the sale, maybe it comes up on inspection, maybe not.
After the sale, send them an email, with a warning about the trebuchet, starting with "Crank up docks are all over the lake, but I'm not sure you've ever used one...". You might include idiosyncrasies about the house and recs on other service providers too. Most of the transactions I've been involved with have included communications like this.
