tiller steering problem

[bossy1]

have to hang on to the tiller handle ALL THE TIME or it veers hard to one side, and the boat is going in circles before you know it!!

How to correct this. Is there a diagram of the tiller?

I took it apart and I think I know what parts I need, but don't know how to describe them. I think I need 3 parts: Pressure plate?
sleeve?
wear bushing?

Please help
Thanks

Maybe I am missing something but what model are you asking about?
