ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The marine propulsion device, such as an outboard motor, includes a propulsion unit connected to a hollow tilt pin for swinging movement about a horizontal axis and a vertical steering axis, an actuating member slidably mounted inside the tilt pin, and a link operably connecting the actuating member to a steering arm on the propulsion unit to cause swinging movement of the propulsion unit in response to operation of a remote steering mechanism, such as a steering wheel, operably connected to the actuating member. The terminal portion of one end of the connecting link is in the form of a generally cylindrical pin which extends through an aperture in the outer end of the actuating member. The pin has a substantially straight shank portion pivotally received in the actuating member aperture and an angularly related outermost end portion projecting exteriorly of the actuating member to provide an interference type lock. A cotter pin removably mounted on the outermost end portion of the pin further prevents accidental disconnection of the connecting link from the actuating member. The other end of the connecting link is pivotally connected to the steering arm with a threaded fastener including a threaded portion threaded into the steering arm and a cylindrical sleeve pivotally received in an aperture in the end of the connecting link.
