Abstract

A tiller arm pivotably mountable to a marine outboard engine about a pivot axis is described. First and second arms extend away from the pivot axis. A middle portion has a first end attached to the first and second arms. A handle portion extends away from the second end of the middle portion in a direction away from the pivot axis. A throttle grip is rotatably mounted to the handle portion and rotatable with respect thereto about a throttle grip axis generally perpendicular to the pivot axis. The throttle grip is operatively connectable to the marine outboard engine. The width of an aperture defined by the arms and the middle section is greater than the widths of the throttle grip and the first and second arms.
