A tilt mechanism for a marine outboard drive includes a hydraulic cylinder assembly disposed transversely offset from the center axis of the tilt mechanism. The tilt mechanism includes a swivel bracket carrying a drive unit for pivotal movement about a generally vertically extending steering axis and a clamping bracket supporting the swivel bracket for pivotal movement about a generally horizontally extending tilt axis. The swivel bracket has wall portions transversely extending from the steering axis. One of the wall portions positioned nearer to the hydraulic cylinder assembly is reinforced greater than the other wall portion. Also, the clamping bracket comprises a pair of spaced members. One of the spaced members positioned nearer to the hydraulic cylinder assembly is reinforced greater than the other spaced member. |
