ABSTRACT:
A steering apparatus for an inflatable raft is disclosed. The apparatus substantially includes a transmission member having a transmission shaft formed thereon, a driving member having a driving shaft formed thereon which is co-axially arranged with the transmission shaft, a coupler having a central bore in the same shape as that of the transmission and driving shafts and movably sleeved thereon, a bias member biasing between the coupler and either of the transmission and driving members, and an actuating member for causing the coupler to move from an original engaged position to a disengaged position. When the user of the raft controls the steering apparatus at either side of the raft, the impellers at the side of the controlled apparatus will stop turning along with the manipulation of the pedals by the user so as to achieve an alternation of the moving direction of the raft.
