ABSTRACT:
A tilt handle which is secured to the power head of an outboard drive unit on a marine vessel for moving the drive unit through a small tilt angle from a tilted-down position in which the drive unit propeller is below the surface of the water to a tilted-up position in which the propeller is out of the water. The drive unit includes an elongated swivel bracket which places the power head a substantial distance from the vessel when running. On such a drive unit, the tilt handle assists in the tilting up operation and permits the power head to be positioned near the vessel for easy operation and maintenance by the driver of the vessel.
