ABSTRACT:
An outboard motor (10) is supported on a boat by a swivel bracket (12) mounted for tilting movement on a transom bracket (11). A shallow water tilt mechanism is provided by a shallow drive bracket (29) controlled by a lever (30) mounted on the swivel bracket (12). The lever (30) is linked to the shallow drive bracket (29) by a double acting torsion spring (38) which allows the operator to set the lever (30) for the desired position of the shallow drive bracket (29). Subsequent tilting movement of the swivel bracket (12) allows the shallow drive bracket to assume the preselected position.
