Abstract
An outboard motor mounting arrangement wherein the swivel bracket and clamping brackets have interengaging sliding surfaces that take side thrusts and minimize loading on the tilt pin during trim operation. In addition, certain electrical cables and hydraulic conduits are juxtaposed to the steering shaft and mounted so that they pass through the various brackets in a location close to the various pivotal axes to minimize flexure and reduce the necessary length therefor.
