Disclosed herein is a marine propulsion device comprising a bracket adapted to be fixed to the transom of a boat and including a generally planar mounting surface engaged with the boat transom when the bracket is boat mounted, which bracket also includes a lower part having a lower bearing with a steering axis which extends generally vertically when the bracket is boat mounted, a member including a lower portion extending in the lower bearing and a pair of laterally spaced arms connected to the lower portion and respectively including upper horizontal bearings having a common axis located in spaced relation above the lower bearing, a steering arm fixed to the member for steerably rotating the member within the lower bearing about the generally vertical axis, a propulsion unit including a powerhead and a lower unit extending fixedly downwardly from the powerhead and including a rotatably mounted propeller, and trunnions on the powerhead adjacent the top thereof and received in the upper horizontal bearings for pivotally connecting the propulsion unit to the member for movement about the horizontal axis between a running position with the propeller submerged in water and with the propulsion unit located wholly aft of the bracket mounting surface and an elevated position with the propeller substantially out of the water and with the propulsion unit located wholly aft of the bracket mounting surface.
