The steering tiller mounts by 2 bolts which are also the upper engine mount bolts. I found the nut on one side sheared off mostly flush with the tiller arm. I do not know how to access this area . Its an inch or two below the bottom of the engine compartment..hopefully the picture will work IMG_0372.jpg

Seaox,
I used a 1998 motor, as you didn't post what year your motor is?
That bolt looks like the swivel bracket to engine holder bolt (09100-12048) BOLT, part #7 on the engine holder page:

To replace that bolt, it appears from the parts diagram, that you would need to remove the entire powerhead and lower engine cowling to access those bolts. Someone else might respond if they have more knowledge, but in over 50 years of being around motors, I have never seen either of those bolts break off, until now. You should have a service manual before attempting that work.
Good luck.
