Abstract
A system for maneuvering a boat including a hull and an outboard motor includes a left tilt shaft, a right tilt shaft, a steering shaft support, and a hydraulic cylinder. At least a portion of the hydraulic cylinder is between the left tilt shaft and the right tilt shaft. The hydraulic cylinder exerts a steering force on the outboard motor to rotate the outboard motor about a steering shaft. A hydraulic pump supplies hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic cylinder. One of the left tilt shaft and the right tilt shaft includes a first hole. A portion of the stroke range of the hydraulic cylinder is located within the first hole.
