Tilt lever returning mechanism for outboard engine

摘要

A tilting supporting arrangement for an outboard drive unit that permits it to be pivoted from a normal running position to a tilted up position. A tilt stop mechanism is provided for holding the unit in its tilted up position and a tilt locking mechanism is provided for holding the unit in its tilted down position. Each of the tilt stop and tilt locking mechanisms is movable between and operative position for retaining the drive unit in the respective position and released positions. The tilt locking mechanism and tilt stop mechanism are oriented in such a way that when the tilt stop mechanism is moved to its operative position and the drive unit is tilted up, the tilt locking mechanism will automatically be operated to its operative position.
