ABSTRACT:
A support device for maintaining the lower drive unit of an outboard engine in a tilted position for travel. The device is comprised of a substantially U-shaped steel bar having a first pin member extending inwardly from one side of the bar and second and third pin members extending inwardly toward the first pin member from an opposite side of the bar. The first pin member is adapted to be inserted through a corresponding opening on one side of a stationary portion of the outboard drive unit and the second and third pin members are adapted to be inserted through respective openings on the opposite side of the stationary portion of the outboard drive unit. The steel bar engages the movable portion of the outboard drive unit to hold it in a tilted position as desired. To return the movable portion to a non-tilted position, the third pin member, which is substantially shorter than the first and second pin members, is dislodged from its opening and the device is rotated about an axis connecting the first and second pin members to a non-operative or storage position.
