Please Help a newbie! I have a 1972 18HP Evinrude. The old motor is tight and really runs good. Problem is when it arrived here, the tiller handle had been broken off. Where it mounts to on the steering bracket, the area that looks like two washers is busted. Any ideas on how to repair this area. All of the steering brackets I have found are cracked. Is there a repair kit or something for this. Please help.

Don't waste time trying to fix the part. Replace it. It isn't as hard as it looks.

Right, there was no such thing as a 1978 20hp, so we can't tell for sure what he is selling.

According to the parts book, the '72 18hp is different than the '78 25hp.
