Hello, I just purchased my first outboard motor for my new-to-me skiff. It is a 1993 Yamaha 30 hp C30ELRR tiller. There is no steering resistance and when in the water under any kind of throttle or even just doing maintenance it must be held in position. I have been doing research trying to locate a steering friction adjustment for this model but I can't seem to find anything on the exploded view. After watching youtube videos I did find someone converting a larger console yamaha outboard to tiller and he added a bracket with an adjustable collar with the modification and it got me thinking someone could have previously converted it to a tiller but did not set it up 100% properly.

I am completely new to boats so any help figuring this out would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

There is no steering friction on the motor for a remotely controlled motor. That is done by the steering system.

What kind of steering system is being used?
