ABSTRACT:
Steering mechanism utilizes a pair of serially connected pulley-belt systems having a stepped-up output which causes a flexible shaft to rotate in the remote steering of a marine vessel. Upon fracture of a belt and/or when travelling at high speeds, the safeguard mechanism permits a rapid changeover to a direct drive steering capability such that steering shaft rotation is transmitted directly to the output shaft which rotates the flexible shaft.
