Where to find tiller cable bracket? 8 years 3 months ago #123449

XJS Motors Topic Author Offline Fresh Boarder Posts: 24 Thank you received: 0	I have a 1964 Sears 150 and need to restore the steering cables, pulleys etc. One of the parts I am missing is the bracket to attach the cables to the engine. Do anyone know where I can purchase this part? Thanks! Mark Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

OMC made various other private label motors as well. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

I should have mentioned in my original post that the picture I attached was not of my engine but one that showed a similar attachment point.

Fortunately your link got me to a listing for a connector that I think will work on my Evinrude. Thanks!

Now all I need to do is figure out how to correctly wrap the cables around the steering drum. I know this has been discussed before on the forums but its still not very clear to me. A few pictures showing a wrapped drum would be very helpful.

If you do a google search for tiller steering, you will find some forums that have drawings. I changed mine out to Uflex a couple of weeks ago, but I had changed the tiller cable earlier in the year. It isn't hard to do. I just recommend you have extra feet so that you can center the engine properly. I started on one side and worked my way around. I know some people start at the hub.
