MANUAL STARTER AND SHIFT INTERLOCK MECHANISM

摘要

Disclosed herein is a marine propulsion device comprising a starter including a rotatable starter shaft, a pinion carried on the shaft for movement relative to the shaft and to an engaged position in mesh with an engine starting gear, means for rotating the starter shaft in opposite directions, cooperating means on the shaft and on the pinion for displacing the pinion to the engaged position in response to rotation of the shaft in one direction, a recess in the starter shaft, and a bolt cooperating with the recess in the shaft and selectively locatable in a first position in the recess for preventing rotation of the shaft in the one direction and in a second position withdrawn from the recess for permitting rotation of the shaft. The marine propulsion device also includes a reversing transmission shiftable between a drive condition and a neutral condition, and a linkage connecting the transmission to the bolt for displacing the bolt to the first position when the transmission is in a drive condition and for displacing the bolt to the second position when the transmission is in neutral position.
