Cable steering system for a marine vessel which has a primary propulsion unit and an auxiliary propulsion unit

摘要

A steering system for a marine vessel which has a primary propulsion unit and an auxiliary propulsion unit is disclosed. In one embodiment, a cable extending through a tilt tube of the primary propulsion unit couples the primary propulsion unit to the auxiliary propulsion unit. In another embodiment, a cable extends through a support cable extending through a support rod of the primary propulsion unit couples the primary propulsion unit to the auxiliary propulsion unit.

主权项

1. A steering system for a marine vessel having a first propulsion unit and a second propulsion unit, the steering system comprising:
a steering assembly for steering the first propulsion unit, the steering assembly including an actuator for imparting steering movement to the first propulsion unit; and a push/pull cable, comprised of a cable portion and a jacket which at least partially houses the cable portion and allows the cable portion to reciprocate within the jacket, the push/pull cable extending between the first propulsion unit and the second propulsion unit for operatively connecting the actuator of the first propulsion unit to the second propulsion unit, the push/pull cable extending through a tilt tube of the first propulsion unit, and the push/pull cable being capable of transmitting steering movement from the actuator of the first propulsion unit to the second propulsion unit.
