ABSTRACT:
A remotely controlled steering transom for outboard motors which comprises a frame having a transom plate adapted to be attached to the transom of a boat. Top and bottom plates extend backwardly and inwardly from the transom plate terminating in a tubular bearing support. A spindle is journaled through the bearing support and is received into caps at either end. The caps are connected to the central portion of a rear metal plate which will turn with the spindle as the spindle is rotated within the bearing support. A reversible electric motor driving pulley is mounted on a bracket affixed to the transom plate. Tension springs are mounted to the transom on either side of the motor and in the same plane as the pulley. A pulley is fixedly attached to either side of the rear metal plate, facing the tension springs. A flexible cable attached to one tension spring extends around the pulley opposite that spring from the outside to the inside, is wrapped in looped relationship around the pulley driven by the motor, passes around the second pulley from inside to outside and is attached to the second tension spring. Wooden members are affixed to either side of the rear metal plate and are adapted to receive an outboard motor. The electric motor is powered by a battery and is actuated by a switch via an electric cord from the boat. Actuation of the motor causes the motor driven pulley to rotate in the desired direction frictionally passing cable about said pulley in the direction of rotation thereby causing the rear metal plate to pivot or rotate in the direction opposite the rotation of the motor driven pulley. The boat is thus turned or steered by the pivoting of the rear metal plate rather than the rotation of the outboard motor in relation to its mounting.
