A marine propulsion device comprising a gimbal housing adapted to be fixedly mounted on a boat transom, a gimbal ring pivotally mounted on the gimbal housing for pivotal movement relative to the gimbal housing about a generally vertical steering axis, the gimbal ring including a lower end, a support arm extending rearwardly from the lower end, and a generally horizontal cross-member extending across the lower end for preventing deflection of the support arm, a propulsion unit extending rearwardly of the gimbal ring and being pivotally connected to the gimbal ring for pivotal movement relative to the gimbal ring about a generally horizontal tilt axis, the propulsion unit including a portion extending adjacent the support arm for lateral support thereby, and a hydraulic cylinder/piston assembly pivotally connected between the gimbal ring and the propulsion unit for effecting pivotal movement of the propulsion unit relative to the gimbal ring about the tilt axis, the hydraulic cylinder/piston assembly having one end pivotally connected to the lower end of the gimbal ring for pivotal movement relative to the gimbal ring about a generally horizontal pivot axis.

A marine propulsion device including a propulsion unit, a gimbal housing for mounting the propulsion unit on a boat transom for swinging movement, and a sending device for sensing the general angular position of the propulsion unit. The sending device comprises a resistance element having an end, a fixed resistor in parallel electrical connection with the resistance element, and a wiper supported on the gimbal housing for pivotal movement along the resistance element. The marine propulsion device also includes structure operable between the wiper and the propulsion unit for moving the wiper along the resistance element in an amount which is variably proportional to the amount of swinging movement of the propulsion unit, and for moving the wiper beyond the resistance element end as the propulsion unit moves beyond the predetermined angle.

A control system for an internal combustion engine, the control system receiving an input signal from an engine speed sensor, receiving an input signal from an engine knock sensor, advancing the spark timing of the internal combustion engine until a knock signal is received from the knock sensor, and, in response to receipt of a knock signal from the knock sensor, retarding the spark timing of the internal combustion engine until a knock signal is no longer received from the knock sensor and thereafter maintaining a substantially constant spark timing until the signal received from the engine speed sensor indicates a change in engine speed.
