Thanks for the responses. I’ve gained a little knowledge now. As for the tiller arm, it is about 21" long but does not have a twist theottle. The throttle control is on the port side of the carb,a paddle shaped lever to push up or down. There is also a connector below the paddle for a bowden type cable to rig up at the same location.
I have found a copy of ‘Instructions and List of Repair Parts’ reprinted by ???. Print date is Aug 24, 1928 for types H – HL. My lower unit looks different but the engine, carb and mag all look the same as the book.

The engine has ‘steering eyes’ on either side below the spark plugs. To my mind these are not spread out far enough to gain the leverage you would need to steer with. Can either of you, or someone else, explain to me how they were rigged up to help with steering?
