ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a marine propulsion device comprising a bracket adapted to be fixed relative to a boat transom, a propulsion unit including a steering arm, pivots pivotally connecting the bracket and the propulsion unit for vertical pivotal movement of the propulsion unit about a tilt axis which is substantially horizontal when the bracket is boat mounted, and for swinging movement of the propulsion unit about a steering axis which is generally transverse to the horizontal axis, a support rod fixed in spaced parallel rotation to the bracket and against movement axially of the horizontal axis and for tilting movement in common with the propulsion unit, a member carried by the support rod for movement axially of the support rod, a coupling connecting the member and the steering arm for swinging the propulsion unit about the steering axis in response to movement of the member axially of the support rod, and mechanism for selectively displacing the member axially of the support rod to thereby steer the propulsion unit.
