Abstract
A portable outboard motor foot control device of the pull-pull cable type characterized by a cable house adjacent to the control pedal which, in highly embodiments, contains a pulley system for each of two cables and a pulley-bearing lever arm to move the cables. The lever arm is moved on a pivot shaft turned by the pedal to impart movement to the cables, providing considerable ease of operation. Some preferred embodiments include a pedal having a foot-contact surface well spaced from the pivot axis of the pedal, preferably above the axis.
