  • Idle stop mechanism for foot-operated outboard motor throttle
    Patent number: 6223623
    Abstract: An idle stop for a certain type of motor boat throttles. The throttles involved have a pedal pivotally mounted on a base, an eccentric carried by the base and actuated by the pedal and a receptor mount connected to a side wall of the base. The idle stop includes a tab extending out from the pedal, the tab having a threaded aperture through which an adjustable bolt extends. A fixed edge on a side of the base provides a surface for the bolt to come into contact with, and thus limit rearward movement of the pedal.
