Disclosed herein is an outboard motor including a combination clutch and throttle control which is rotatably mounted on the tiller of a propulsion unit and which includes a first member connected to a rotatable throttle control member for common rotary movement so as to control the throttle of the outboard motor engine and a second member which has a common rotary movement with the first member and which is movable axially of the first member and which is connected through a push-pull member to a remote clutch control member to effect clutch actuation in response to axial movement of the second member relative to the first member. Accordingly coordinated steering, speed, and clutch control can be accomplished by an operator using one hand on the clutch and throttle control assembly.
