Looks like the bolt for transom clamp.-----One just like the other one.------There is nothing missing on this steering as far as I can tell.------The system on this boat does not use the tilt tube and the drag link.

The motor in post # 1 is not using the steering set-up with it going through the tilt tube !!----It must be an older boat or had a different motor on it at one time.----Or somebody just was not well versed on boat steering systems !
I can't find the part I'm looking for. Its not this kind with the hydraulics but it kind of does the same thing. I'm looking for a part that will extend the steering. Right now its just got about five inches of movement which doesn't allow for much room to steer. The part I'm looking for is kind of just like two 5 inch arms that attach to that round bolt on the transom that will add more room to steer. Does anyone know of a part that will extend the steering for that set up?
You need a new system and cable.------One that attaches to the tilt tube and then comes back to the motor.------Hurry to your local boat shop to get help to select this item.----Simple.
You might want to disconnect cable from motor and see just how much the motor can turn. Some older motors just don't turn as far as you might expect them to.
You could spend time and money fixing this "problem" only to find you end up with the same result.
