ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a steering handle device for small jet-propelled boats in which the stern of the boat is used as a floor deck on which the rider stands, and the engine is mounted on the front of the floor deck. A handle post is pivotally connected to the bow of the boat by a horizontal shaft. A base board for attaching the handle bar is integrated with the rear or upper end of the handle post overhanging the floor deck, and an attaching plate for the handle bar is pivotally connected to the base board by a vertical shaft. The rider steers using the handle bar and by changing the position at which he/she applies foot pressure to the boat. The steering handle device is characterized by the handle bar being constructed substantially in a H-shape as seen from a front view. The handle bar assembly consists of a handle bar body horizontally extending transversely of the boat, and a pair of grips vertically extending from the opposite ends of the handle bar body. At least the middle portion of the handle bar body is used as a straight pivot bar portion orthogonal to the vertical shaft. The pivot bar portion is assembled to a grasping bracket and is rotatable around its own longitudinal axis. As such, the tilt angle of the grips is adjustable by the rider.
