    摘要: An outdrive for a marine vessel, such as a watercraft having an inboard engine, is provided. The outdrive can include an upper drive unit having a driveshaft that rotates in response to rotation of an input shaft coupled to an engine within a hull of the watercraft. The upper drive unit is movably joined with a lower drive unit, which includes a propeller shaft that rotates in response to rotation of the driveshaft, and an associated propeller. The lower drive unit is movable from a raised mode, in which it is adjacent the upper drive unit, to a lowered mode, in which it is a preselected distance from the upper drive unit, thereby lowering a thrust point produced by the propeller, all while the watercraft is moving through water and while the propeller is producing thrust. A related method and outdrive upper unit are also provided.

    摘要: A method is provided for controlling a boat. The boat is adapted to float in a body of water. The boat includes a hull having a longitudinal extension along a hull longitudinal axis, a lateral extension along a hull lateral axis and a vertical extension along a hull vertical axis. The boat also includes a set of drive units, the set of drive units comprising at least one drive unit. Each drive unit in the set is arranged such that it, during driving of the boat, is adapted to be at least partially submerged into the body of water; adapted to be pivotable, relative to the hull, around a drive unit longitudinal axis that is substantially parallel to the hull longitudinal axis such that a drive unit roll angle can be varied, and adapted to be pivotable, relative to the hull, around a steering axis that forms an angle with the drive unit longitudinal, axis such that a drive unit steering angle can be varied.

    摘要: The invention relates to a watercraft comprising a hull, at least one motor which is fixed in or onto said hull, and a propeller which is driven by the motor by means of a transmission. According to the invention, at least part of the underwater transmission and the propeller can be laterally pivoted in relation to the watercraft by means of rotary elements.

    摘要: A propulsion unit for a water-borne vessel has a drive transmission assembly comprising a drive shaft and a steering shaft which can be concentric with the drive shaft, a leg depending from the drive transmission assembly, for instance by way of a horizontal axis pivot connection so that the leg can be swung up, and a propeller housing supported on the lower end of the leg for rotary movement about the axis of the leg, for steering the vessel.

    摘要: A surface drive is provided mounted from the stern of a hull for up and down swinging movement in the manner of an outdrive unit, but wherein the surface drive includes a forwardly and upwardly inclined propeller shaft with a forward extension thereof coupled, through the utilization of a universal joint, to the rear end of a power shaft journaled through and projecting rearwardly of the transom of the associated hull and with which the propeller is generally aligned, the surface drive being laterally stabilized and including an upstanding rudder oscillatably supported therefrom rearward of the surface drive propeller.
