Oil reservoir for outboard motor

摘要

The present invention is an improved oil reservoir for an outboard motor. The oil reservoir is defined by an oil pan portion of an exhaust guide. The exhaust guide includes a support portion which is positioned below an engine powering the motor. The oil pan portion extends downwardly from the support portion. An opening provided in the support portion of the exhaust guide leads to the oil reservoir, serving as an oil return. Preferably, a gasket positioned between the exhaust guide and the engine partially obscures the opening, preventing backflow of oil from the reservoir into the engine when the motor is titled.
