ABSTRACT:
A device for controlling an articulating outboard motor bracket is provided. A mounting bracket is affixed to an inner side of a boat's transom. The mounting bracket includes a pair of mounting plates that extend above a top edge of the transom. A lever arm has a first end that is pivotally affixed to the mounting plates. A lever member has an arcuate region that extends from a first end toward a second end thereof. The first end of the lever member is pivotally coupled to the lever arm. The lever member couples to the lever arm at a point proximal to an arcuate portion of the lever arm. A pair of coupling plates pivotally couple the lever member to the lever arm and hold the lever member in axial alignment with the lever arm. A pair of connecting plates pivotally connect a second end of the lever member to a lifting member on the articulating bracket. The lever arm is rotated toward the articulating outboard motor bracket, to lower the bracket into an operating position. The lever arm is rotated away from the bracket, to lift the bracket into a transit position.
