    摘要: A saildrive arrangement (1) which comprises an upper unit (13) to be positioned inside a hull (5) of a sailboat (7) and a lower unit (14) which is arranged to protrude from the bottom (6) of the hull (5). The upper unit (13) comprises an input shaft (4) to be connected to an engine (2) and the lower unit (14) comprises a propeller shaft (9). A brake (15), for locking the rotational movement of the propeller shaft (9), is located in the upper unit (13). The saildrive arrangement (1) is incorporated into a sailboat (7) with a hull (5) and an engine (2).

    摘要: A reverse gear includes an input shaft, a forward clutch, a reverse clutch, an output shaft, a reduction mechanism, and a relay shaft. The input shaft receives rotational power of a main engine. The forward clutch transmits the rotational power of the input shaft as forward output. The reverse clutch transmits the rotational power of the input shaft as reverse output. The output shaft outputs the rotational power transmitted via the forward clutch and the reverse clutch. The reduction mechanism reduces the rotational power of the output shaft and transmits the reduced rotational power to the propeller shaft. The relay shaft intersects the input shaft and relays the rotational power from the forward clutch and the reverse clutch toward the output shaft. The relay shaft and the output shaft are coupled to each other via a pair of intersecting-shaft gears to be able to transmit power.

    摘要: A gear mounting assembly is for causing rotation of a propeller on a marine drive. The assembly includes a driveshaft; a first bevel gear on the driveshaft, wherein rotation of the driveshaft causes rotation of the first bevel gear; a propeller shaft for supporting the propeller such that rotation of the propeller shaft causes rotation of the propeller; a gear hub on the propeller shaft; a second bevel gear on the gear hub, wherein the second bevel gear is engaged with the first bevel gear such that rotation of the driveshaft causes rotation of the gear hub, which thereby causes rotation of the propeller shaft; and an adapter facilitating relative rotation between the propeller shaft and the gear hub when the gear hub is caused to rotate by the driveshaft.

    摘要: An outboard motor includes an engine having an output portion. A lower gear mechanism drives a propeller disposed below the engine. A transmission includes an input shaft that transmits power from the output portion to the transmission. An output shaft transmits power from the transmission to the lower gear mechanism. A reverse idler shaft is parallel to an intermediate shaft. A forward clutch is disposed on one of the input and intermediate shafts and connects and disconnects power from the input shaft to the intermediate shaft. A reverse clutch is disposed on the intermediate shaft and connects and disconnects power transmission from the input shaft to the intermediate shaft. Power of the input shaft is transmitted to the output shaft via the forward clutch and the intermediate shaft and is transmitted to the output shaft via the reverse idler shaft, the reverse clutch, and the intermediate shaft.
