    Abstract: A remotely controlled steering transom for outboard motors which comprises a frame having a transom plate adapted to be attached to the transom of a boat. Top and bottom plates extend backwardly and inwardly from the transom plate terminating in a tubular bearing support. A spindle is journaled through the bearing support and is received into caps at either end. The caps are connected to the central portion of a rear metal plate which will turn with the spindle as the spindle is rotated within the bearing support. A reversible electric motor driving pulley is mounted on a bracket affixed to the transom plate. Tension springs are mounted to the transom on either side of the motor and in the same plane as the pulley. A pulley is fixedly attached to either side of the rear metal plate, facing the tension springs.
