  • Adjustable steering apparatus for outboard motors
    Patent number: 5540606
    Abstract: A steering handle is pivotally connected to an outboard boat motor so that the handle may pivot freely with respect to the motor about a motor steering axis. A handle engagement arrangement allows the handle to be fixed at a particular orientation on the motor and released as desired to move to another orientation about the motor. The handle engagement arrangement preferably includes a control device positioned at a distal end of the handle. The adjustable handle arrangement allows the motor to be turned 360 degrees while maintaining the steering handle within reach and in a convenient position.
