Abstract
A trim and tilt arrangement for an outboard drive includes an elongated support pivoted at their forward ends on the lower part of the rudder post and at their rearward ends interconnected by a connection which with the aid of elongated slots in both side walls of the outboard drive casing passes therethrough. An engagement in the outboard drive engages from behind the connecting means. Trim and/or tilt motion is achieved by either varying the length of the supporting means, or the relative position of the engagement means with respect to the outboard drive and this is accomplished from a remote-control station to the driver. The engagement is releasably secured to the connection by specially adapted locking devices which release in response to lower rearward force in forward drive and higher force in reverse drive.
