Hi all,

I recently bought an older (70s I think) Mercury 7.5 hp outboard as a kicker
for my boat. I want to be able to just lock the motor in the straight
position and use the rudder of the boat for steering. Is there any locking
mechanism on the motor to keep it pointed straight or will I always have to
keep it straight using the tiller handle?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

TIA,
Mike
