Elto Pal doesn’t steer

[theodore]

I just inherited a 1938 Pal. The transom clamp is tight to the main tube, and the main tube is loose under the powerhead. I see two cast stops in the powerhead, which I think are limits for the steering. Maybe +/- 45 degrees? The main tube is stuck to the lower unit, and i think this is where its supposed to pivot. Is there a common failure here, and what is the fix? Also the small water tube has a piece of rubber hose substituted for about the last 5″, just above the lower unit.

It’s missing the tiller arm, and the transom clamp washer. Are these available?

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
