Abstract
A bracket for connecting steering mechanisms and or tie bars to a marine propulsion outdrive that fastens to the outside of the upper and rear cover plates of the outdrive using threaded fasteners that replace fasteners that originally secured the top and rear cover plates. The cover plates do not need to be removed to install the bracket. The bracket is secured by both horizontal and vertical threaded fasteners for greater strength.
