Teleflex steering evinrude to yamaha

[droptheline]

My evinrude is dead and i just got a 70hp yamaha (mid 90's), i havent got the old motor off yet but i noticed that my steering cable goes thru the tilt tube and my yamaha motor doest allow for that. I know i need new contols but do i need to get a new steering cable 2? Thanks

ok so i already figured out i need a steering guide attachment, i think im gona go ahead and just replace the steering cable because the nut to take it off has corroded really bad. Any help on finding that steering guide would be appreciated tho.

was no ELTD for the US market. was an ETLG and a TLRD.
but ALL US market 70 HP engines had the tilt tube.
it may be capped off with plastic nuts.
a pic about now would help.
the 70 two stroke was a US import from 84 to 2001.

you are right sir they were just metal caps. But double checked and the serial # tag is stamped 70 ELTD
