Abstract: An outboard motor mounting arrangement including a mounting bracket adapted to be mounted on a boat hull, a support bracket mounted on the elongated motor tube for relative rotational and axial movement, a support arm pivotally connected to the support bracket and to the mounting bracket for pivotal movement of the outboard motor between a generally upright operating position and a generally horizontal storage position parallel to the boat hull, and a steering friction member mounted on the motor tube for adjustable frictional engagement therewith. The steering friction member is releasably coupled with the support bracket to prevent relative rotation therebetween when the outboard motor is in the operating position and is automatically uncoupled therefrom in response to movement of the support arm from the operating position toward the storage position to permit free rotation of the motor tube relative to the support bracket and thereby facilitate turning of the lower unit of the motor to the storage position.
