ABSTRACT:
Locking apparatus for the tiller arm of a small boat having a line in the stern of the boat passing over the tiller arm. A line lock is mounted on the arm through which the line passes. The line lock consists of a base plate mounted on the arm, a pair of side walls and a lock lever through which the line passes, and a lock member to prevent the lever from being lowered from its upper or raised position. When the lever is in its lowered position the holes in the side panels and the lever are aligned thereby permitting the tiller arm to be moved freely. When the arm is raised the line becomes pinched preventing movement of the tiller arm. There is also provided a lock member to prevent the lock lever from dropping from its raised position. All parts are non resilient in construction.
