Outboard Part

[fishnowworknever]

What is the nut called on the tilt tube of an outboard where the steering cable slides through on the far end...usually has a nylon or rubber washer of some sort to keep dirt/water etc out of the tilt tube/steering cable assembly when turning the motor.

I cannot for the life of me find the name or part.

Can't you go to Yamaha site, find the outboard model and look at manual, which usually has a break-out of parts and assemblies? I'd try that first thing. Unless you happen to find a Yamaha mechanic in here who knows those things inside out it might be tough to learn the proper name here.

Try the site....then come back.
