Answer
Hi Ray....Thank you for selecting the undersigned to respond to your question.

Obviously, the tiller of an outboard motor provides a mode for steering, and integrated within the handle is a manual throttle control, which you seem to be missing. I'm not a mechanic, but suggest you consult a local marine mechanic for guidance. As far as parts are concerned, they could be hard to come by. Source out the internet for suppliers. Check with classic and antique boat restorers for references.
