Abstract: Disclosed herein is an auxiliary handle adapted to be removably attached to a rotatable part of an outboard motor steering handle for rotation of the steering handle part to control outboard motor engine operation and for lateral swinging movement of the steering handle to control outboard motor steering operation. The auxiliary handle comprises an attachment section adapted to be removably fixedly connected to the steering handle part for common rotation and lateral movement, together with an extension section, and a linkage connecting the extension section to the attachment section for effecting common rotary movement of the attachment section in response to rotation of the extension section, for effecting common lateral movement of the attachment section in response to lateral movement of the extension section, and for permitting movement of the extension section relative to the attachment section in response to application to the extension section of a force above a predetermined amount.
