ABSTRACT:
Outboard motor steering control system including a mounting bracket, torsion bar axially supported on a U-shaped bracket, foot pedal secured to the torsion bar, and a linkage rod connecting between a pedal bar on the foot pedal to a U-shaped bracket on a motor, whereby the two-bar linkage provides for control of steering of the outboard motor during trolling. The mounting bracket secures to the splash tray of the boat, while the foot pedal includes a heel plate for accommodating an entire foot and the heel in a comfortable manner. Ball joints are provided between the nut and bolt assemblies securing onto the U-shape bracket of the motor and the pedal bar for the two-bar linkage. The outboard motor control steering system is intended for use with low horse power outboards operating at low speeds. The system is particularly intended for use by fishermen during trolling or fishing operations.
