What is a tiller outboard motor?

A tiller outboard motor is a type of outboard engine that is controlled directly by a long handle, or tiller, attached to the motor. This design allows the operator to steer the boat by moving the handle left or right, while also controlling the throttle for acceleration. Tiller outboard motors are commonly used in smaller boats, such as fishing and dinghy boats, due to their simplicity, ease of use, and compact size. They are often preferred for their maneuverability in tight spaces and shallow waters.
