ABSTRACT:
An outboard motor tilt mechanism includes a tilt position bracket pivotally attached to the motor swivel bracket and operatively attached to the fixed motor transom bracket such that upward rotation of the swivel bracket provides step-wise engagement between tilt position notches in the tilt position bracket and abutment means on the transom bracket. A control bracket mounted for limited rotation with and frictional engagement of the tilt position bracket operates to prevent reengagement of a tilt position notch once the swivel bracket has been rotated upwardly past the point of initial engagement such that return downward rotation to the lower operating position is effected automatically. The mechanism may be configured to provide automatic latching in the uppermost trailering position with either manually effected or automatic return therefrom to the lower operating position.
