A power transfer assembly ( 2000 ) for transferring energy within a combustion engine ( 1010 ) externally of the engine. The power transfer assembly includes a crankshaft ( 2006 ) adapted to convert reciprocating motion to rotating motion. The power transfer assembly further includes an outdrive ( 2004, 2020 , and/or 2026 ) adapted to transfer the rotating motion of the crankshaft to an external device requiring power. The outdrive is non-rigidly interfaced with the outdrive such that the crankshaft is permitted to freely rotate relative to the outdrive about at least one axis ( 2014 ) and freely move linearly in at least one direction ( 2027 ) relative to the outdrive during operation.
