ABSTRACT:
A steering system of an outboard motor is provided that is mounted on a stern of a boat and having an internal combustion engine at its upper portion and a propeller with a rudder at its lower portion that is powered by the engine to propel the boat. The steering system includes a cowl enclosing the engine and a hydraulic cylinder connected to the outboard motor at one end and to the boat at other end to swivel the outboard motor relative to the boat to steer the cowl, the propeller, and the engine about a vertical axis. The hydraulic cylinder is located inside a vertical plane of a profile of the outboard motor when viewed along the vertical axis such that the hydraulic cylinder never projects outside the profile in any steered position of the motor.
