    1959 Evinrude Impeller

    Thanks for the information. The busted bolt has already been taken car of and reminded me that I need to be more cautious when wrenching.

    Advice for possible repair

    Have a 1990 25 hp Evinrude that when I let go of the steering handle at all the motor will always go to one side. I don't remember which way. Is there a way to tighten up the steering on it, or maybe a part needs to be replaced? Thanks for any tips.
