70hp merc

[hos]

I have an 86ish 70hp mercury on a grumman pontoon. I just replaced the powerhead and got it all wired up my question is, on the port side of the motor ( left as you look from spark plug side.) just under all the linkages is supposed to be a bracket that is flat and a plastic piece slides on it. I have no idea what to call it. it is missing and I cant find it on any parts breakdowns. does anyone know what I am talking about or have a part number.
thanks,
Hos

Hos;

Could this be what you are looking for? If not, what is the s/n of your engine?

I think thats it. it bolts up to the block and runs the throttle correct? if im not mistaken
