Abstract
The invention provides a device for stabilizing an outboard motor during transport in two embodiments. A first preferred embodiment includes a rigid block which is pivotally mounted from a bracket so as to be adjacent to a yoke which connects between the push rod end of a steering cable and a link to the outboard motor. The block has a hole in a position to enable engagement of an extended bolt on the yoke and can be pivoted to cause such engagement. In the engaged position, a wing nut is tightened to hold the block in position over the bolt, thus preventing movement of the outboard motor. In the second embodiment, a split block is provided of a material possessing a highly frictional surface. The split block has a hole with a split to an outer surface and is permanently mounted with a push rod of the steering cable extending through the hole. To secure the outboard motor against movement during transport, the split is clamped tightly with a transverse bolt to bring pressure from the inner surface of the hole on the push rod.
