Abstract
A U-shaped locking element having parallel extending ends is provided for selectively locking a raisable steering mast of a small watercraft in an upright position for servicing and maintaining the engine. The raisable steering mast is pivotally connected to a mounting transversely secured to the hull of the watercraft for movement between an upright position and a substantially horizontal lower position. The locking element is pivotally connected to a lug on the mounting for movement between a locked position, wherein the locking element engages with the steering mast while it is in the upright position to lock the steering mast in that position, and an unlocked position. At least one torsional spring is provided to urge the steering mast upward and thereby assist in raising the steering mast so that it can be locked in its upright position.
