ABSTRACT:
A remote steering device adapted for attachment to a stern drive unit and an outboard motor affixed to the stern portion of a boat. The remote steering device comprises a pair of elongate members rotatably affixed to one another and having longitudinal axes of rotation, adapted such that a first elongate members may rotate about its longitudinal axis relative to the second elongate member without causing rotation of the second member. One of the elongate members is provided as a pair of telescoping members in order to vary the distance between the outer ends of the device. A ball-joint is adjustably affixed to each outer end of the remote steering device, and brackets are provided for attaching the device to the stern drive unit and the outboard motor. When the stern drive unit is raised to its upper inoperative position, the elongate members securely affixed to the stern drive unit and the outboard motor may rotate about the longitudinal axis to avoid twisting stresses. The outboard motor may thereby be steered by steering the stern drive unit when it is in either the upper or lower position.
