Abstract
A marine drive is for propelling a marine vessel in water. The marine drive has a cowling defining a cowling interior, a steering arm extending forwardly from the marine drive, the steering arm configured for steering of the marine drive about a steering axis, a flexible rigging connector extending forwardly from the cowling interior to a location in the marine vessel, and a retainer on the steering arm which retains the flexible rigging connector in position relative to the steering arm such that steering of the marine drive about the steering axis also steers the retainer and the flexible rigging connector about the steering axis.
