ABSTRACT:
The invention provide an adjustable steering mechanism for a watercraft. The watercraft has a hull including a main body, an upper wall engaging the hull and cooperating therewith to define an engine compartment for housing an engine. The engine has an output shaft arranged to drive a water propulsion device of the watercraft. The upper wall has a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface facing forwardly towards engine compartment. A first steering means extends through the upper wall and is in communication with a steering mechanism of the watercraft. The first steering means also coupled to a steering shaft and handle. The steering shaft and handle are journalled for rotation about a first axis with respect to a rotation member. The rotation member being rotatably affixed to the top side of the upper wall opposite the engine compartment thereby allowing the rotation of the rotation member and the steering shaft and handle in a forward and rearward direction about a second axis generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the watercraft and the first axis and whereby the steering shaft and handle is independently rotatable with respect to the rotation member about the first axis.
