ABSTRACT:
A control unit 20 for use in combination with an outboard marine motor assembly includes a handle 110 having a plurality of telescoping sections 112A, 112B, and 112C. A coiled electrical conductor 172 extends through each of the telescoping sections 112A, 112B, and 112C and connects with electrical switch provided on a handle grip 114 of the furtherest extendable of the telescoping handle sections 112C. In one embodiment the electrical switch comprises a first switch 166 for selectively activating a motor 24 which drives a propeller 26 and a second switch 168 for selecting a desired speed for the motor 24. The handle 110 is connected to a second gearing 84. The second gearing 84 meshes with a first gearing 82 whereby the angular displacement of the handle 110 and the second gearing 84 connected thereto results in a greater angular displacement of both the first gearing 82 and a rotational shaft 28 about which the first gearing 82 is concentrically mounted. Angular displacement of the rotational shaft 28 changes the orientation of the motor 24 and propeller 26 connected to the lower end of the shaft 28, and thus alters the coarse of the craft 22 on which the outboard marine motor assembly is mounted.
