Assisted rudder mechanism for marine propulsion device

摘要

Marine propulsion device comprising a mounting assembly to be mounted on a boat and comprising a lifting tube 22 extending along a substantially horizontal lifting axis 24, a propulsion unit mounted on this mounting means in order to pivot with respect to it about the axis 24 and about a substantially vertical rudder axis 34, an elongate member 136 sliding axially in the tube 22, an extensible and retractable hydraulic assembly 52 which has a first end capable of being connected to the boat 14 and a second end connected to the propulsion unit 32 in order to make it pivot about the axis 34, a valve 68 comprising a first member 70 fixed to the second end of the hydraulic assembly 52 and a second member 102 which can move in a reciprocating motion with respect to the first member, and a rod 138 having a first segment 140 articulated onto the member 136, and a second segment 142 articulated onto the second member 102 and a third segment 144 articulated onto the first member 70.
