ABSTRACT:
In outboard motors of the type in which an electric motor is encased in a housing submerged beneath the water surface and from which a rotatable steering shaft extends upwardly therefrom, which shaft is caused to rotate responsive to longitudinal motion of a Bowden wire or other type of horizontally moving force, there is provided an improved remote steering control for effecting longitudinal movement of the Bowden wire. The Bowden wire is connected at the free end thereof to an actuating arm extending outwardly from a seat pedestal or support shaft, so that rotation of the seat causes a responsive longitudinal movement or "stroke" of the Bowden wire to change the direction of movement of the boat. The plate or bracket upon which the seat is mounted is attached to the pedestal or support shaft by a slip clutch which permits control of the motor by rotation of the seat yet allows selective movement or adjustment of the direction in which the seat faces without a resulting change in direction of the boat when desired.
