As my on going quest to get my motor and boat goes on I have discovered that I am missing the silver bar or link if you will that connects the steering cable to the motor. This steering cable goes through the tilt tube and from what I have seen there is a almost L shaped piece of metal I seem to be missing. I have tried calling around and nobody seems to know what i am needing except one person and he was unsure what it was called. The boat is a 1985 bayliner capri and the motor is a 85 85hp force outboard. Does anyone know what I am referring to and what it is called? Is there a cheap alternitave if I cant find one? Any suggestions short of replacing the steering cable would be nice. Not sure what type the cable is. It comes from the drivers area down same side of boat and out the back with one large sleeve and then a nut that attaches to the motor tube and the smaller one that actually moves sticks out the other side. I hope that is a helpful descripition as I left my camera and cell phone in my wifes car today and she is at work on the north side of town, about 30 minutes away so no pictures. Till later this evening.
Here's a good pic of one connected I have bookmarked
