Abstract
A device for fastening a steering actuator cylinder to an outboard marine motor includes a fastening rod insertable inside the outboard marine motor and having ends each inserted inside a corresponding housing seat obtained in a terminal element, so that the fastening rod has a relative rotation with respect to the terminal elements, which are further fastened to the steering cylinder. The outboard motor is integral with the fastening rod, so that the outboard motor can oscillate around the longitudinal axis of the fastening rod. At least one insulating element is interposed between each end of the fastening rod and the corresponding housing seat, the insulating element is configured to at least partially surround the surface of each end.
