Abstract
An outboard motor embodying an improved steering mechanism that is operative to retain the motor in a preset steered position and which may be easily and automatically disengaged by the operator to permit steering under emergency conditions. In addition, the means for retaining the motor in its steered condition is operable from a remote position at the end of the tiller in proximity to the operator so that he need not remove a hand from the tiller to either engage or release the mechanisms. Furthermore, other controls for the engine are disposed at the end of the tiller in proximity to the steering control.
