Abstract: The electric outboard motor has a control head in which a steering tiller is mounted for limited rotational and axial movement. A rotary switch is operated by rotary movement of the tiller and regulates operation and speed of the motor. A toggle switch is operated by axial movement of the tiller to select forward and reverse operation of the motor. Motor operation, speed, forward and reverse are controlled by the steering tiller.

Abstract: An outboard motor mounting arrangement including a mounting bracket adapted to be mounted on a boat hull, a support bracket mounted on the elongated motor tube for relative rotational and axial movement, a support arm pivotally connected to the support bracket and to the mounting bracket for pivotal movement of the outboard motor between a generally upright operating position and a generally horizontal storage position parallel to the boat hull, and a steering friction member mounted on the motor tube for adjustable frictional engagement therewith.
