Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to the field of steering systems for marine propulsion, and more specifically, to a remote mounted motor command input device for marine vessels that enables a boat operator to control a motor via a tiller arm remotely mounted at a location non-adjacent to the motor. A purpose of the device is to allow for an operator to safely and conveniently control the motor, which is mounted aft of the rear platform near the bottom of the boat transom, from within the region enclosed by the main deck perimeter railing. Therefore, the operator is not tempted to control the outboard motor while standing on the rear platform of the marine vessel and is not required to leave the main deck area or enter the cockpit in order to control the motor.
