There is a nob on the motor mount where the steering cable passes through the mount. There is a sticker that says engage on one side and disengage on the other. I tried turning it to disengage to see if it unhooked the steering but it didn't. Any ideas what this thing might be engaging or disengaging?? 1987 Force 50hp model C.

I would guess that it engages or disengages the latching mechanism that locks the motor in the down position. My Johnson is labled lock/unlock.

That is what it is suppose to do, if it wasn't missing hardware. Nothing a piece of string couldn't fix for now...
