Abstract
A portable outboard motor foot control device having adjustable cables characterized by a cable house which is adjacent to the foot pedal and from which the cable or cables extend, and a guide through which the cable or cables extend as they exit the cable house, the guide being adjustable to firmly set the direction at which the cable or cables exit the cable house. Preferred embodiments include a drum frictionally held between opposed upright plates forming part of the cable house. Changes in the rotational orientation of the drum change the angle of passageways in the drum through which the cables pass.
