ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a steering handle device for jet-propelled small-sized boats on the type in which the operator rides the boat in a standing posture. The invention prevents the operator's body from being twisted around during the turning of the boat to the extent that he is forced to assume an unstable steering posture, and makes it possible to apply the foot pressure resulting from the operator's body weight to the boat body effectively and as desired from the standpoint of human engineering so as to provide the so-called quick steering performance. To this end, the invention provides a steering handle device for jet-propelled small-sized boats, comprising: a base block fixedly installed on the rear upper end of a handle post erected on a boat body, the base block having a pair of handle stays extending integrally therefrom to assume a rearwardly diverging form as seen from above, and handle bars pivotally connected at their respective front ends, by ball joints, to the right and left end regions of a handle bar attaching plate which is pivotally connected to the base block by a vertical shaft, the rear end of each of the handle bars being pivotally connected to the rear end of the associated handle stay by an upright handle grip, the arrangement being such that when the two handle grips are tilted back and forth, the handle bar attaching plate is turned.
