OUT-DRIVE PROTECTION APPARATUS

摘要

An out-drive protection apparatus (10) for a watercraft such as a boat (11) having an out-drive (13) of known kind at its stern and a transom (15). The out-drive protection apparatus (10) provides a protective enclosure about the out-drive (13). The out-drive protection apparatus (10) comprises a locating means (21) and a shroud (23). The shroud (23) comprises a main portion (31) and an end portion (32). The end portion (32) is movable with respect to the main portion (31) into a position for sealing engagement with the transom (15). Specifically, the end portion (32) is angularly moveable with respect to the main portion (31) to configure it appropriately for the inclination of the transom (15). For this purpose, the end portion (32) is angularly moveable with respect to the main portion (31) for movement into the required position.. In this way, the end potion (32) can be set to an angular position with respect to the main portion (31) such that the end face (55 )of the shroud is at the required angular position determined by the inclination of the transom of the boat (11).
