Re: rust on the steering arm
I found the part locally at an outboard repair shop. however it was rusted so severely that the ''part'' was the whole midsection of the motor because it couldn't be pulled apart without breaking. I hope yours isn't so bad...it was a major job....pulled powerhead...foot...dismantle everything and put back together.

Re: rust on the steering arm
Flounder,
The company is located in Houston Tx and the guys name is "Outboard Jack" 3410 Oak Forest Dr. Houston, TX * 77018 Phone numbers: Parts: *713-686-9997 Service: *713-686-3011 Fax: *713-686-9996 http://www.outboard-parts.com [email protected] I know what you mean about the a$$ pain! I suppose the part being SS means that you buy it once and never worry about rust/corrosion ever again. This is one I will have to ponder on and discuss with the Admiral, she OK's what I can buy! ::)

Re: rust on the steering arm
Well I been doing some searches online and found a place where I can purchase a steering arm made of stainless steel. The guy gave me a price of $425.00 plus shipping & handling. Does this price seem reasonable or is the business trying to "give me the business" *???
I do like the fact that it is indeed SS but if I could locate one cheaper somewhere that would be a plus.

Flounder, I have not one clue as to if that one on ebay would fit the 175 Johnson or not. My model # is J175TLCTD and the serial # is J5853159 so who knows if that one on Ebay would fit. I noticed you also have the 175 Johnson and is your model the same as mine? Mine is a 1983.
