PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make an outboard engine compact and small through ensuring a rational arrangement of link mechanism. SOLUTION: A shift mechanism of outboard engine composed of upper and lower crankshafts 27 and a flywheel 31 mounted on the lower end of the crankshaft 27 is driven through a link mechanism (shift arm 33, shift link 35, guide 37) disposed below the flywheel 31. Thereby the link mechanism of the shift drive mechanism 20 does not protrude highly to the outside from the outer circumference of the flywheel 31, and a cowling 4 is made small, thereby making the whole of the outboard engine small and compact. |
