ABSTRACT:
A remote steering device, adapted for attachment to a main propulsion unit and an auxiliary outboard motor secured to the transom of a boat in order to slave steering movement of the outboard motor to that of the main propulsion unit irrespective of the attitude of the units, which device includes first and second brackets associated with the two propulsion units joined by a connecting rod at ball joints providing three degrees of motion and wherein the connecting rod includes at least two rod members secured at a releasable rotatable joint automatically adjustable in incremental steps in response to longitudinal forces; whereby all twisting forces are resolved at or through the rotational joint and cooperative ball joints and all longitudinal forces are resolved through automatic incremental adjustment of the length of the connecting rod.
