TRIM MECHANISM WITH AUTOMATIC RETURN ABSTRACT Disclosed is a tilt mechanism for a marine propulsion device which comprises a transom bracket for attachment to a boat. The transom bracket has a closed circuit cam track including a plurality of notches circumferentially spaced about a first generally horizontal axis and a return cam surface. A swivel bracket is pivotally connected to the transom bracket for pivotal movement about the first horizontal axis. A pawl assembly having one end pivotally attached to the swivel bracket rotates about a second generally horizontal axis, the pawl assembly having a second end and a biasing means for biasing the second end, to engage the cam track and the notches. The pawl assembly acts as a ratchet with the series of notches to provide a series of trim positions for the propulsion device, and further acts as a cam follower with the return cam surface to allow the automatic return of the swivel bracket from the uppermost trim position to the lowest trim position.
