TRIM APPARATUS FOR MARINE OUTDRIVE WITH STEERING CAPABILITY

摘要

A marine outdrive (2) steering and trim system comprising a support linkage (26) which is either of fixed length (non-trimmable) or of an adjustable telescoping length (trimmable) and having a first end (28) pivotally mounted to the transom (4) and a second opposed end (30) attached to a propeller end (16) of the marine outdrive (2). A pair of steering actuators (42, 44) are connected between a steering yoke (38), secured to the support linkage (26), and a stationary pivot point on the transom (4) for providing a pure force couple to facilitating steering of the marine outdrive (2).
