ABSTRACT:
A tiller control device is provided for controlling the position of a tiller on a watercraft and includes an attachment shaft adapted to be attached to either the tiller or the watercraft, and a variable pressure brake adapted to engage the attachment shaft and adapted to be attached to the other of the tiller or the watercraft. A handle is attached to the variable pressure brake for variably adjusting the amount of the pressure exerted on the attachment shaft, whereby the attachment shaft may remain fixed relative to the brake when unattended but may be moved relative to the brake when desired without further adjustment of the handle.
