Guys, I'm new to this board and after reviewing see that there are lots of people willing to help out with guidance and I need some. I just bought a used Mariner 8hp LS for my 24' sailboat and it arrived in fine condition EXCEPT for a cast piece (or aluminum?) that broke off. The piece would normally hold the hand tiller in place where it rotates up and down, and would support that handle as you turn the motor. I've located a couple of welders and boatyards in my area that say they can probably fix it for $40-70, but wanted to see if anyone here had any tips or suggestions before I bring it in. Is something like JB Weld a bad idea? Thanks.
