ABSTRACT:
An outboard motor steering arm support includes a rail attached to a stern of a boat, parallel to a common axis of the boat's steering arm and steering arm sleeve. One end of a sliding connector is slidably attached to the rail, and another end is fixedly attached to the distal end of the steering arm. The rail and sliding connector ensure precise alignment between the distal end of the steering arm and the axis of the sleeve at all times. Bending stresses on the steering arm are thus substantially eliminated. Therefore, the steering arm slides smoothly within the sleeve, and operator steering effort and mechanical wear are minimized.
