Abstract
It is an object to provide a locking mechanism of a deflector for a watercraft which can perform the locking and unlocking operation of the locking mechanism simply by executing up-down movement of the deflector. A locking mechanism (,L) of a deflector (,A) for a watercraft comprises a first member (a locking member) (,E), a second member (an engaging member) (,K) to be engaged with the first member (,E), and a third member (an unlocking member) (,R) for disengaging the first member (,E) from the second member (,R), the first member being attached to a fixing side to be able to engage the second member therewith, the second member being attached to a deflector side, and the third member being capable of performing up-down movement of the deflector (,A), and the engaging state of the first member is released in an initial stage of operation of the third member, the second member is caused to be operated interlockingly at a succeeding stage to perform the up-down movement of the deflector, and the second member is brought into the engaging state by the first member in a succeeding final stage.
