ABSTRACT:
A towable watercraft is provided with a tow bar which extends over a front portion of a hull of the watercraft, and downwardly along the outside of the hull front portion to an elevation where a tow line can be secured to an end portion of the tow bar. A steering system operates the tow bar to pivot the tow bar and the hull relative to each other as the watercraft is being towed. The steering system includes a steering column turned by a steering wheel or bar, a steering drive shaft secured to the tow bar and pivotally supported relative to the hull, and a gear mechanism or a pulley mechanism linking the steering column and the steering drive shaft and providing a substantial mechanical advantage. A housing is provided for the steering system to contain the drive shaft and the linking mechanism.
