Mercury 7.5 OB question

Mercury 7.5 OB question 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	Bonasa Mar 18

I have a 71 merc 7.5 on a aluminum fishing boat. No way to lock it like you discribe. It will tilt up and out of the water. But not down and straight. Capt Jack R..	Jack Mar 20
I just read that you are always wrong so this must not be true...	Dan Mar 19
my Mariner had a bolt and rubber washer on the leg you could tighten up to control the ease of turning.	CalifBill Mar 19
