So here is what broke: the neck of the tiller handle where it bolts into the steering bracket. I will check all the places you guys have referred (thanks) and get a replacement....but I think I will send the two pieces up to Ken and see what magic he can do with welding this aluminum.

Hey my friend,
I have owned 2 motors between the years 60 and 80 and was amazed that I found the parts on Ebay....However, I have never been set on buying anything on Ebay, I took the chance and everything worked out. I guess I am talking about $60-80 bucks ...It is amazing what rare parts you can find on Ebay
