ABSTRACT:
A control device for a boat engine, capable of controlling both clutch and throttle with a single lever. The control device has a supporting shaft installed within a housing. A clutch arm, an operating disk and a throttle arm are rotatably mounted on the supporting shaft in such order. The root portion of the operating lever radially extending through a slit of a peripheral portion of the housing is fixed to the periphery of the operating disk. The control device has a gear mechanism and a cam-link mechanism. The gear mechanism changes the first stage turning of the operating disk to a swing movement of the clutch arm, and then, locks the clutch arm after the clutch arm has been swung to an end position. The cam-link mechanism prevents swing movement of the throttle arm during the first turning stage of the operating disk and also provides a swing movement of the throttle arm during the latter turning stage of the operating disk.
