I discovered the source of the super tense steering on my 88 150 Mariner - see below:

It's a Teleflex no-feedback dual cable system, and that's the bracket that used to hold the inner (closest to the boat) steering cable. No idea how it got bent like that, but I need a new one. It also bent the cable guide tube that ran through it, which you can see part of in the upper left.
I'm having trouble finding these parts though. I assume they're Teleflex add-on parts for the dual cable system (the bracket and guide tube don't appear in the exploded drawing at http://www.marinepowerservice.com/B...Num/1135726/Doc_Part_nbr/13752/pickyear/1988/). Where can I find replacements for these?
