ABSTRACT:
A compact, gearless steering control unit for open fishing boats, for example, employs a pivoting stick or rod to control steering rather than a conventional steering wheel. The unit includes a plurality of pulleys and timing belts to rotate a flexible shaft which controls a steering member. The stick is centrally disposed enabling either front seat occupant to easily move it, or at either side of the boat. By eliminating the protruding steering wheel, the front seat fisherman have additional room to manipulate their gear. The steering control stick may readily be removed to deter theft of the vessel.
