No power steering on that oldie! you probably have a seized steering cable or helm. Remove the cable from the tiller arm on the transom plate, and see if the wheel turns. If it is the cable or helm the steering will still be stiff. Replace the helm and cable as a package. a good replacement will be a Teleflex Safe-T-QC system, fairly easy to replace. http://www.iboats.com/Teleflex-Safe-T-QC-Quick-Connect-Steering-System-Package/dm/view_id.40298
If the steering moves freely with the cable disconnected, the problem is the pivot bushings in the outdrive, a big job to replace, and probably not worth the money for an older boat such as yours.
