STEERING APPARATUS OF OUTBOARD MOTOR AND OUTBOARD MOTOR BOAT

摘要

A steering apparatus for an outboard motor includes a steering mechanism including a guide arranged forward relative to and parallel or substantially parallel to a tilt shaft, a moving body that is rotatably coupled to an arm through a first pivot shaft parallel or substantially parallel to the tilt shaft and movable along the guide, and a support bracket that supports the guide such that the guide rotates about a second pivot shaft parallel or substantially parallel to the tilt shaft and offset relative to the tilt shaft.

1. A steering apparatus for an outboard motor, the steering apparatus comprising:
a clamp bracket capable of being fixed to a boat body; a swivel bracket rotatably supported by the clamp bracket through a tilt shaft that extends horizontally or substantially horizontally; a steering arm rotatably supported by the swivel bracket through a steering shaft that is orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the tilt shaft; and a steering mechanism coupled to the steering arm; wherein the steering arm includes a mount that supports the outboard motor and an arm that extends from the mount toward the boat body and is coupled to the steering mechanism; and the steering mechanism includes a guide arranged forward relative to, and parallel or substantially parallel to the tilt shaft, a moving body rotatably coupled to the arm through a first pivot shaft parallel or substantially parallel to the tilt shaft and movable along the guide, and a support bracket that supports the guide such that the guide rotates about a second pivot shaft parallel or substantially parallel to the tilt shaft and offset relative to the tilt shaft.
