Steering for a 1976 Flare

[Scuda11]

Hi all.<br /><br />I could not find a website for Flare boats, maybe they are out of business. I am not sure what type of steering this is, or what I could use to replace it. Could you take a look for me? I removed the rubber screw cap for illustration purposes. I remember that when I bought the boat about 4 years ago the guy gave me a new piece for it and I put this piece in. Meaning it was NOT attached directly to the cable, if that helps.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />

What I don't see is the tiller arm for the outboard?<br /><br />The steering system you have is still serviceable, if the cable isn't frozen.<br /><br />All the parts for it, except the tiller arm, are available here in the iboats Mega Mall.

While im not the shadytree mechanic that steering looks just like the steering on my 1974 Starcraft 18 Holiday .
