[Purpose of the invention]

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a steering device for an outboard motor mounted on a boat.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art In a boat equipped with an outboard motor, as shown in FIG. 5, a transom board at the tail of the hull 1 is passed through a steering handle 3 provided on the front side of the hull 1 and a steering cable 3 wired to the hull 1. The outboard motor 5 is connected to the outboard motor 5 mounted on the steering wheel 4 via a link bar 6, and the outboard motor 5 is turned right or left through the steering cable 3 and the link bar 6 shown in FIG. It is designed to turn and steer. Recently, a power steering device has been introduced in this type of boat, and the configuration of a connection portion between the steering cable 3 and the outboard motor 5 has been complicated.

[0004]

In the case of a boat equipped with an outboard motor, the boat often gets on and off the stern such as when the boat is stopped.
Since the steering components such as the link bar 6 and the like are arranged on the upper edge of the transam board 4, it is easy to place a foot,
Therefore, an excessive load is applied to the steering component, which is not preferable. In particular, in the case of a boat equipped with a power steering device, there is a problem that a load applied to a steering component adversely affects a power steering device having a complicated configuration.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and can prevent a foot from being placed on a constituent member of a steering device even when getting on and off from the tail of a hull, thereby protecting the steering device. It is an object of the present invention to provide a steering device for an outboard motor as described above. [Structure of device]

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a steering apparatus for an outboard motor according to the present invention is provided with an outboard motor mounted on a transom board at the tail of a hull, and a steering handle for a front steering wheel on the hull. In a marine vessel that steers an outboard motor by steering operation, a steering component including a steering cable and a link rod connected to the outboard motor is disposed on an upper edge of the transam board, and is provided on a rear side of the transam board. A pair of left and right guard members projecting above the steering component are attached to the left and right sides of the outboard motor, while the upper part of the guard member projects upward along the upper edge of the transam board, and one end of the guard member is at least one end. It is attached to a transam board together with the outboard motor.

[0007]

A guard member that protrudes to a position higher than the steering components such as a steering cable on the tail of the hull is attached to the left and right sides of the outboard motor. The upper portion of the guard member protrudes along the upper edge of the transam board. At least one end is attached to the transam board together with at least the outboard motor, so that even if your feet are placed on this part when you get on and off the boat from the stern, your feet will hit the guard member and prevent you from stepping on steering components such as steering cables. Thus, the steering components are protected. Further, since the guard member is attached to the rear side of the transam board, the stern deck portion does not become narrow, and the livability is not impaired.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG.

FIG. 1 shows a tail portion of a hull provided with a steering device for an outboard motor according to the present invention. The same members as those in FIGS. 5 and 6 will be described using the same reference numerals. The outboard motor steering device comprises a guard member 7 having a metal bar formed in a loop at a position above the stern transom board 4 of the hull 1.
Is provided on the back side. A steering component comprising a steering cable 3 and a link rod 6 connected to the outboard motor 5 is disposed along the upper edge of the transam board 4.

The guard members 7, 7 are placed horizontally when attached to the hull 1 and project upward along the upper edge of the transom board 4, and an end of the upper rod 8. Side rod portion 9 bent downward from the bottom, a lower rod portion 10 returning from the lower end of the side rod portion 9 to the mounting portion side of the hull 1, and formed at the ends of the upper rod portion 8 and the lower rod portion 10. Mounting part 11,
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the outboard motor 5 and the mounting portions 11, 12 are fastened together by bolts 13, 14, which attach the outboard motor 5 to the transom board 4 of the hull 1. It can be attached.

When the outboard motor 5 is attached to the transom board 4 of the hull 1 by co-fastening, the upper rods 8, 8 above the guard members 7, 7 are attached to the transom board 4 of the hull 1.
The steering cable 3 and the link bar 6, which are arranged along the upper edge portion, are located at positions protruding above the steering components of the link bar 6. The outboard motor 5
The attachment to the hull 1 via the attachment portions 11 and 12 may be performed by attaching another attachment hole to the hull 1 instead of the joint with the outboard motor 5 and the guard members 7 and 7 Bending the material is most preferable in that it is lightweight, easy to manufacture, and can be obtained at low cost. However, it is not necessarily limited to a bar, but may be a plate.

Since the present invention has the above-described structure, the hull 1
Even if a steering component such as the steering cable 3 of the steering device is arranged at the tail of the steering device, the steering cable 3 and the link rod 6 are not stepped on when getting on and off from the stern, so that the steering cable 3 and the link rod 6, and the power steering The components of the device can be protected.

[0013]

As described above, according to the outboard motor steering apparatus according to the present invention, the outboard motor is mounted on the transom board at the tail of the hull, and the outboard motor is operated by the steering operation of the steering handle on the front side of the hull. In a boat for steering a motor, a steering component comprising a steering cable and a link rod connected to the outboard motor is disposed on an upper edge of the transam board, and the steering component is provided on the rear side of the transam board. A pair of left and right guard members projecting upward are attached to the left and right sides of the outboard motor, while the upper portion of the guard member projects upward along the upper edge of the transam board, and one end of the guard member is at least together with the outboard motor. Since it is attached to the Transam board, when getting on and off from the stern while the ship is stopped etc. There is no foot on the ring component, no step on the steering cable or link bar, no excessive deformation load on the steering cable or link bar, no adverse effect on the steering device, The steering gear is protected,
Reliability is ensured. In addition, since the guard member is attached to the rear side of the transam board, the stern deck portion is narrowed, and there is an effect that the livability is not impaired.
